v1.c15.s10.29

Krishna Dēva Rāya on reaching Gulbarga "took three sons of the King of Daquem. He made the eldest King of the kingdom of Daquem, his father being dead. . . He whom he thus made King was received by all the realm as such, and obeyed by all the great lords, and even by the Ydallcão owing to his fear of the King. The other two brothers he took with him, and gave them each one an allowance, to each one every year fifty thousand gold pardaos; and he holds them and treats them as princes and great lords, as indeed they are."³
