Retiring from the coast, he marched to attack Adoni, then under one of the vassal chiefs of Vijayanagar, who had made himself independent in that tract. The place was taken, and the Nizâm Shâh agreed with the king of Bîjapûr that he would not interfere with the latter's attempts to annex the territories south of the Krishnâ, if he on his part were left free to conquer Berar. - [Previous: c19.248](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.248) - [Next: c19.250](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.250) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19) ## Cites (1) - [Adoni](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.adoni) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.249](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.249) · Pramāṇa
