Adil Shah of Bijapur.[2]It is evident that Tuluva Narasa Nayaka understood the precarious situation and wisely chose not to engage the combined armies of the Shahi kingdoms on two fronts simultaneously.[3][4][5]

Tuluva Narasa Nayaka was an astute ruler who wasted no time in strengthening the empire. As the
