[472] — Muhammad Taghlaq of Delhi.
[473] — Persia (above, p. 10).
[474] — I.E. the Balaghat, or country above the ghats. "The high land on the top is very flatte and good to build upon, called Ballagatte and Decan, and is inhabited and divided among divers kings and governors" (Linschoten, i. 65). Correa divides this part of India into "Bisnega, Balagate, and Cambay."
[475] — This is the Portuguese rendering of the Adil Khan, or Adil Shah of Bijapur. "Idalxa" represents the latter title.
[476] — The description applies best to the Malprabha River, and perhaps "Duree" represents Dharwar.
[477] — Anegundi.
[478] — He was at that time only chief or king of Anegundi, Vijayanagar not having been yet founded.
[479] — These basket-boats are described by Paes (see above, p. 259).
[480] — I have not been able to identify this name. It is possible that the first syllable represents the word SRI, and that the whole may have been a special appellation of the upper fortress or citadel, on the rocky heights above the town of Anegundi.
[481] — There had been no special war with Anegundi that we know of; but the Rajah of that place had very possibly been directly affected by, if not actually engaged in, the wars between the Hindu Hoysala Ballalas and the rulers of Warangal and Gujarat on the one hand, and the Muhammadan invaders from Delhi on the other.
