The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c11.4

v1.c11.4

The *Vasucharitramu* states that "the Nizam (of Ahmadnagar), Kutupasahi (Kutb Shah of Golkonda) and the Sapada (Adil Shah of Bijapur) fled to the forests before his march" ¹. And in the *Svaramelakalanidhi* it is said that with his brothers' aid he ‘conquered all Parasikas’, that is the Muhammadans ¹. The British Museum plates of Sadasiva state that “the dust raised by his armies appears like smoke that drives away those gnats”, *viz.*, the Muhammadans ². And probably also his wars with the Mussulmans inspired the statement of the Mangalampad grant of Venkata II that “Rama Raya had slain in battle all his enemies” ³.
