It resulted in a decisive victory for Vijayanagara forces, and the Bijapur ruler was defeated and pushed across the river Krishna.

[9] Saluva Narasimha Deva Raya attempted to recapture the city of Raichur from the Bahmanis, but failed.

In that year, Krishnadevaraya sent Seyed Maraikar, a Muslim in his service, to Goa with a large sum of money to buy horses.

During the period of peace Krishnadevaraya made extensive preparations for a grand attack on Raichur Doab.

The next morning, Krishnadeva ordered an attack on the Musalmans, initially making progress but facing heavy artillery fire from the Bijapuris.

[12][13] Krishnadeva, the Vijayanagar leader, encouraged his remaining troops, vowing to die as soldiers instead of fleeing.

After capturing the Bijapuris' camp, Krishna counted the spoils: 100 elephants, 400 cannons, tents, horses, oxen, and other animals.

[13]Moreover, the use of a Portuguese contingent[14] commanded by Cristovão de Figueiredo[15] with the use of fireweapons helped to conquer the fortress.

[17] Additionally, the Portuguese with their arquebuses picked off the defenders from the walls, and thus enabled the besiegers to approach close to the lines of fortification and pull down the stones.

[21][12] Infuriated by the ambassador's deceit, Krishndevaraya invaded Bijapur, causing destruction and capturing some cities.

At Sagar, he faced a large army and won a decisive battle with heavy casualties on both sides.

[23] This attempt to subvert the rule of the five Sultans who had established themselves on the ruins of the single Deccan sovereignty only resulted in stiffening their hostility towards their common foe.

Orientalist and nationalist historians claimed the battle as part of a clash of civilizations between Hindus and Muslims.

Goa rose and fell simultaneously with the rise and fall of the Vijayanagara dynasty because their entire trade depended on Hindu support.
