Upon hearing this news, Yusuf Adil Shah, reportedly concerned, resolved to meet the advancing forces in open battle.

[7] An officer from the Muslim army who had been captured managed to escape and informed his commander that the Hindu forces had scattered, leaving them open to an attack.

[8] Motivated by this information, Yusuf Adil Shah sent a message to Thimma Raja, suggesting peace and offering to recognize the Raya's authority over his territory.

[10] However, Yusuf Adil Shah executed a surprise attack with his entire army, which led to the wounding of the Raya and the deaths of seventy high-ranking officials.

Thimma Raja, unable to gather his full army in time, managed to assemble a force of 7,000 cavalry, a significant number of infantry, and 300 war elephants to face the advancing enemy.

[9] Following this victory, Yusuf Adil Shah rewarded Roab Jung Bahadur Khan with 50 elephants and one lakh hoons, entrusting him with the mission of capturing the forts of Mudgal and Raichur.

[11] Thimma Raja was initially hesitant to fully back the young ruler, who had been appointed by Narasa Nayaka, and only came around due to the increasing external threats facing the kingdom.
