The victors destroyed Vijayanagar, which they occupied for six months, plundered the country, and completed the reconquest of the Doāb, where Rāichūr and Mudgal held out for some time. Venkatādri retired to Penukonda, nearly 120 miles south of the former capital, and established himself beyond the reach of the victors, and Tirumala was permitted to establish himself in Anagondi as a vassal of Bījāpur. The head of the Hindu king¹, stuffed with straw, was sent as a warning to Tufāl Khān of Berar, who had not only stood aloof from the confederacy, but had, at the instigation of Sadāshivarāya, plundered Husain’s kingdom as far as Ahmadnagar.
