v4.c65.s1.2
After the last invasion under Dilir had been rolled back, the regent Siddi Masaud highly rewarded the victorious Berad chieftain, Pam Nayak. He also released his former favourite Venkatadri Murari from prison (where he had been confined from 12 Aug. 1679 to 12 May 1680), after torturing and fleecing him, though this Brahman's diplomatic skill had detached Sharza Khan from the Mughals and brought him back to the side of his old master, Adil Shah. (B.S. 523.)
