I obtain the date above given from Firishtah's sentence: "In a few months after the conclusion of this campaign, and the beginning of the year 802, the sultan marched to punish Nersing," a chief who had raised disturbances on the borders of Berar. The BURHAN-I MAASIR passes over this war with great brevity.
The Sultan had with him a train of artillery and in a short time crossed the Tungabhadra, "and entered the domains of Beejanuggur, which were now for the first time invaded by a Muhammadan sovereign in person." This remark of Firishtah's is historically correct, for the Delhi Sultan's attack on Anegundi took place on the north bank of that river.
Moreover, there are some inherent improbabilities in Firishtah's narrative. It is worthy of notice, too, that throughout the story of Nuniz at this part of his chronicle there is much that impels the belief that either himself or his informant was present at the Hindu camp while these events were taking place.
After this point in Firishtah's narrative we hear of no more "young Roies" or imprisoned sovereigns of the Second Dynasty. "Ramraaje" alone is spoken of as king, and Kings Achyuta and Sadasiva the latter of whom was undoubtedly recognised as king for some years though he was kept in custody are not so much as mentioned.
As to the description given by Nuniz of the offensive armour of the elephants, which are stated to have gone into battle with long swords like scythes attached to their trunks, the story is confirmed by many other writers. Firishtah's Narrative. Firishtah's account of the battle of Raichur is interesting, as it gives a description of the affair from the enemy's point of view.
He then marched from the environs of Beejanuggur, and on his arrival on the bank of the Kistnah dismissed the roy's son and returned to Koolburga." To form some idea of the date of this cessation of hostilities we must see what follows in Firishtah's narrative.
Sultan Ibrahim advanced to Belgaum in February 1549, but on the road heard that Asada had died. Firishtah's account of the Bijapur Sultan's conduct when he arrived at Belgaum is too suggestive to be omitted. The Portuguese account as to the fate of the treasures accumulated by Asada Khan is given by Mr. Danvers, who, treating the Khan as an unprincipled rebel, writes:
