^{page 380 note 1} “Yusaf Adilshah (A.D. 1490–1510), the first Sultan of Bījāpur. His taste and skill in music were superior to those of most of the masters of his time, whom he encouraged by munificent rewards to attend his court. He himself performed to admiration on two or three instruments and in his gay moments would sing improvisatore compositions.”—Quoted from Fesishta by Havell, , History of Aryan Eule, pp. 389–90.Google Scholar
