Flushed with this victory, and in command of a large force, Prince Muhammad rebelled against his brother, and Firishtah states that in doing so he obtained aid from Deva Râya. The prince took Mudkal, Raichûr, Sholapûr, Bîjapûr, and Naldirak from the Sultan’s governors, but in a pitched battle with the royal forces was completely defeated and fled. Shortly afterwards, however, he was forgiven by his generous sovereign, and the fortress and territories of Raichûr were conferred on him.
