A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar): A Contribution to the History of India c19.85

c19.85

Gaspar Correa has left us an account of what took place at Vijayanagar at that time, and I repeat his story for what it is worth; though it certainly seems as if he had made a mistake and brought down to this year the affairs of 1535-36, the story of which has already been told. For he alludes to a visit of the Âdil Shâh to Vijayanagar, and unless there were two such visits, Correa would seem to be in error, since Firishtah's date is confirmed by Nuniz, in whose time King Achyuta was alive.
