The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c16.12

v1.c16.12

The *Burhan-i-Ma'asir* gives an interesting account of the power of Rama Raya just before the battle in which he met his end. It runs as follows: "Sadasiva Raya (Rama Raya) was distinguished above all the kings of Vijayanagara for the strength of his army and for his power, and was puffed up with pride owing to the extent of his dominions. It possessed the whole of the kingdom of Vijayanagara with its sixty sea-ports. Its length was near 600 leagues and its revenue 120,000,000 huns; and that accursed infidel had reigned over this kingdom for a long time" 8.
