v1.c15.s10.11

Firishtah continues to narrate the cruelties perpetrated by the Hindu soldiers in A.D. 1558 in the times of Rāma Rāja. "The infidels of Beejanuggur, who for many years had been wishing for such an opportunity, left no cruelty unpractised. They insulted the honour of the Mussulman women, destroyed the mosques, and did not respect even the sacred Koran". Then again Firishtah says: "The Hindoos of Beejanuggur committed the most outrageous devastations, burning and rasing the buildings, putting up their horses in the mosques, and performing their abominable idolatorus worship in the holy places".²
