The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c15.13

v1.c15.13

The mission of Mustafa Khan proved eminently successful. Husain Nizam Shah was moved by his reasons; and shortly afterwards plans were laid for the reconciliation between both Sultans. Husain Nizam Shah was to give his daughter Chand Bibi in marriage to Ali Adil Shah, and with her the fort of Sholapur as her dowry. In return, the Sultan of Bijapur was to give his sister Falah Bibi Hadya Sultana to Nizam Shah’s eldest son, Prince Shahzada Murtaza, afterwards Murtaza Nizam Shah ¹. Couto adds here that Husain Nizam Shah gave Ibrahim Qutb Shah another of his daughters as wife ². These family unions were only a sanction of the league calculated to reduce the power of Rama Raya; for this purpose it was resolved to march against him at the earliest practicable moment.
