 A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar) : a contribution to the history of India by Robert Sewell eBook by BookRags
Bukka reached Vijayanagar in safety and took refuge behind its fortifications, while the Sultan sent his brother Ahmad (afterwards Sultan), whom he had honoured with the title of “Khankhanan,” to ravage the rich districts south of the city.
The relatives of these in the city begged the aged Raya (Harihara ii., still alive) to offer ransom, and after much negotiation the Sultan accepted “ten lakhs of oons"[89] and agreed to the execution of a treaty.
According to this treaty, which was entered into a few months before the close of the Hijra year 801, I.E. a few months before 3rd September A.D. the boundaries of the two kingdoms were to be the same as before the war, and each party agreed to refrain from molesting the subjects of the other.

[101] -- His grandfather, Deva Raya I., was young enough at the beginning of his reign (A.D. 1406) to plunge into amorous intrigues and adventures, and he reigned only seven years at most.
Vijaya's son, Deva Raya II., therefore, was probably a mere boy when he came to the throne in A.D. [102] -- PINA = CHINNA (Telugu) or CHIKKA (Kanarese), and means "little" or "young." (See the tale told by Barradas below, p.
[105] -- It is difficult to reconcile this story with the fact of the Raya's tender age at this date, for I think it is certain that he was then quite a boy.

 A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar By Robert Swell-Book 1 Chapter 6
This king I believe to have been Bukka II.'s successor, his younger brother, Deva Raya I. The story relates to a mad adventure of the Raya which he undertook in order to secure for himself the person of a beautiful girl, the daughter of a farmer in Mudkal.
The king neglected to send the Brahman to warn Pertal's family, and on the arrival of news at Mudkal that a large force of the Raya's troops was approaching, the inhabitants fled, and amongst them the girl and her relatives.
The "convenient plain" was probably in the open and rich valley near the town of Hospett, south of the city; for the Sultan could not have ravaged the country to the south unless he had been master of the whole of this valley for many miles.

 Lesson of Grenada for today -- News & Letters, December 2003
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the murder of Maurice Bishop by his own comrades and the U.S. invasion of Grenada, we publish excerpts from a Political-Philosophic Letter written on November 28, 1983 by Raya Dunayevskaya.
The fact that the first shot of counter-revolution in Grenada on Oct. 19 [1983] was fired by the "revolutionaries" themselves, its Army, politically and militarily headed by Gen. Austin (plus Coard), demands that we take a deeper look at the type of revolution that erupted in Grenada in 1979.
