[167] -- This may, perhaps, refer to Belgaum (A.D. 1471). [168] -- Mahamandalesvara Medinisvara Gandan Kattari Saluva Dharanivaraha Narasimha Raya Udaiyar. These are not the titles of a sovereign. (Hultzsch, "South Indian Inscriptions," i. 131, No. 116). [169] -- OP. CIT., p. 132, No. 119. [170] -- OP. CIT., p. 131. [171] -- Scott's "Firishtah," i. pp. 190, 210; Briggs, ii. 537, iii. 10. [172] -- Briggs calls him "Timraj" (ii. 538) in all cases whence I conclude that in this passage Scott's "Ramraaje" is a slip of the pen. It does not occur again. The former translator in the second of the two passages calls "Timraj" the general of the Roy of Beejanuggur. [173] -- Scott, i. p 228. [174] -- Scott, i. p. 262. [175] -- This is very similar to the story told by Nuniz of the two sons of Virupaksha. [176] -- This again is similar to the tale Nuniz gives us of the minister Narasa and the two young princes. [177] -- Scott, i. p. 252; Briggs, iii. 66. [178] -- Firishtah has told us in a previous paragraph that "dissensions prevailed in Beejanuggur." [179] -- April A.D. 1493. [180] -- Scott's note to this is "about one million eight hundred thousand pounds sterling." Briggs (iii. p. 13) says two millions. [181] -- April 1509 to April 1510. [182] -- Da Orta was at Vijayanagar in 1534, at the same time as our chronicler Nuniz. [183] -- Colloq., x. [184] -- May 20th, according to Barros. [185] -- Published by the Hakluyt Society in English. [186] -- The origin of the name "Sabayo" has often been discussed, and never, I think, quite satisfactorily explained. Several of the old writers have exercised their ingenuity on the question. Barros (Dec. II. l. v. cap. 1) writes: "AO TEMPO CUE NOS ENTRAMOS NA INDIA, ERA SENHOR DESTA CIDADE GOA HUM MOURO PER NOME SOAI, CAPITAO D'EL REY DO DECAN, A QUE COMMUNAMENTE CHAMAMOS SABAYO" -- "When we arrived in India, the lord of this city of Goa was a Moor, by name Soai, captain of the king of the Dakhan, whom we commonly call Sabayo." But Barros must not always be depended upon for Indian names. He explains "Sabayo" as derived from SABA or SAVA -- "Persian," and says that the Sabayo's son was Adil Shah. Garcia da Orta derives it from SAHIB, Burton (LUSIADS, iii. p. 290) thinks it was a corruption of SIPANDAR or "military governor." [187] -- I have not seen the original, and suspect an error of translation here. [188] -- Compare the account given by Paes as to his horse, which he saw at the Mahanavami festival, and at the review which followed (pp. 272, 278 below). [189] -- EPIG. IND., i. 366; IND. ANT., xxiv. 205. [190] -- Henry VIII. of England succeeded to the throne on April 22nd of the same year. It is interesting, when reading the description of the splendours of Krishna Raya's court in the narrative of Nuniz, to remember that in Western Europe magnificence of display and personal adornment seems to have reached its highest pitch at the same period.
