The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c11.56

v1.c11.56

In one of these campaigns with Ahmadnagar, Rama Raya captured the fortress of Turkal ¹. This was the last expedition in which Rama Raya joined the Sultan of Ahmadnagar against the Sultan of Bijapur. On account of all these campaigns he is said, in the *Narasabupaliyamu*, to have helped the Sultan of Ahmadnagar ²; and in the *Ramarajiyamu*, he is called ‘the terror of the city of Bijapur’ ³. But we shall presently see the Regent of Vijayanagara in close alliance with the Sultan of Bijapur against the Sultan of Golkonda.
