==Aftermath== | |||
In April 1647, Mustafa Khan began his journey. Along the way, he conquered Judiatam, situated on the frontier of Jagadeva, and Ambur, perched atop a mountain. After taking Cauveriratan, Mustafa Khan directed his army towards [[Mysore]]. | |||
The defeat of Sriranga Raya boosted Mustafa Khan's confidence. Despite setbacks at Turuvekere in 1647, he proceeded and arrived in [[Mysore]] around May 1647. Jesuit Missionary Leonardo Cinnami, an Italian, vividly describes the events at Mysore: "Kanthirava fought not only against the weak but also against the strong [[Muslim]]s. Mustafa Khan, a close relative and captain general of the Idelean, led 60,000 infantry against [[Mysore]] (Uesore). However, he was forced to retreat to his original territory." | |||
During his stay near [[Mysore]], Mustafa Khan displayed great fear. He spent much of his time on his elephant, heavily guarded, anticipating attacks day and night from the Mysorean army, known for their ruthless tactic of cutting off the noses of captives. | |||
