The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c11.62

v1.c11.62

Such was the letter of Rama Raya to his old friend and protégé, Ibrahim Qutb Shah, who also received letters from Ibrahim Adil Shah himself at the same time. "The letter and the news of Sadasiva Raya's (Rama Raya's) approach," says the *Burhan-i-Ma'asir*, "reached Ibrahim Qutb Shah at the same time." Then he heard also that Tirumala, the brother of Rama Raya, with a body of cavalry accompanied by some of the Bijapur officers, was laying waste the Pangal district. Accordingly the above mentioned work states that Ibrahim Qutb Shah at once violated the solemn treaty with Husain Nizam Shah and left Gulbarga for Telingana in the middle of the night. The news of his flight was brought to Husain Nizam Shah in the morning...[who] perceived that it would be unwise to tarry any longer and so marched to Ahmadnagar" ¹.
