It seems hopeless to try and reconcile the conflicting stories of Nuniz, Barros, and Firishtah, but enough has been said to afford insight into the character of Asada Khân. Nuniz echoes the general sentiment when he writes of the Khân's rescue of the Âdil Shâh, after his defeat at Raichûr in 1520 A.D., as being effected "by cunning" for his own purposes; and when he describes how, by a series of lies, Asada contrived the execution of Salâbat Khân at the hands of Krishna Râya. - [Previous: c19.57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.57) - [Next: c19.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.59) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.58](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.58) · Pramāṇa
