To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
-- The farmer's beautiful daughter --The king's escapade -- The city threatened -- A Hindu princess weddedto a Muhammadan prince -- Firuz Shah's anger -- Pertal's marriage --King Vijaya -- Probable date of accession of Deva Raya II. Firishtah tells us of an event that must have taken place towardsthe end of the year A. D. 1406, in which the principal actor was theking of Vijayanagar. This king I believe to have been Bukka II. 'ssuccessor, his younger brother, Deva Raya I. The story relates to a...mad adventure of the Raya which he undertook in order to secure forhimself the person of a beautiful girl, the daughter of a farmer inMudkal. His desire to possess her attained such a pitch, that he madean expedition into the debatable land north of the Tungabhadra for thesole purpose of capturing the girl and adding her to his harem. I havealready shown reasons for supposing that Bukka II. Was a middle-agedman at his accession, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that thishot-blooded monarch was his younger brother, who began to reign inNovember 1406 A.
