¹ Farishtah mentions at this period that Bijápur (apparently the fort) had recently been surrounded with a stone wall. When narrating the rebellion against Humáyún Sháh Bahamani that had taken place some thirty years previously (II. 467), he particularly noted that the fort was then (A.D. 1459) only built of mud. The stone wall round the city does not appear to have been finished till A.D. 1566. See Farishtah, III. 14 and 132.
