History of the Rise of the Mahomedan Power in India (Briggs) 353 - **Language:** English ### [353](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.353) Within the territories of these five rajas little other grain but bajry and jowar is cultivated. The revenue is for the most part derived from horses and camels. Among the great rajas of the Deccan is the Raja of the Carnatic. Of this line the most illustrious was Beejy Sing, who, nine hundred years ago, founded the city of Beejanuggur, so called after him; and his descendants considered it incumbent on them to add to its extent and beauty, so that it became seven coss in circumference. The first person who displayed the banners of revolt in India, and pretended to establish his independence from the kings of Kunowj, was the ancestor of the rajas of the Carnatic, as has been before related; and in the reign of Mahraj he expelled his lieutenant, Shew Ray, from the Deccan. His descendants, however, from father to son, succeeded to the kingdom, when at length Ramraj, in the year 972 (A. D. 1564), opposed the kings of the Deccan, and was slain; after which period no such raja has sat on the throne. As ample details regarding the other rajas of the Deccan are to be found by referring to the histories of that part of India which have been before given in this work, I have not thought proper to lengthen it out by again dwelling on those subjects. - [Previous: 352.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.352.6) - [Next: 354](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.354) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.353](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.353) · Pramāṇa
