If so, "Seoroy" must be the first Narasa. The historian says that "Seoroy" dying was succeeded by his son, a minor, who did not live long after him, and left the throne to a younger brother. These brothers, then, were the second Narasa, called also Vira Narasimha, and Krishna Deva. The rest of Firishtah's account does not tally with our other sources of information. As being son-in-law of Krishna Deva, Râma was called "Aliya," which means "son-in-law," and by this name he is constantly known. - [Previous: c19.81](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.81) - [Next: c19.83](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.83) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.82](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.82) · Pramāṇa
