The Râya, in spite of the season being that of the rains, pressed forward to Mudkal, an important city in the Raichûr Doâb, or the large triangle of country lying west of the junction of the Krishnâ and Tungabhadrâ rivers, a territory which was ever a debatable ground between the Hindus and Mussulmans, and the scene of constant warfare for the next 200 years. Mudkal was captured, and all the inhabitants, men, women, and children, put to the sword. One man only escaped and carried the news to Kulbarga.
