"Historian Robert Sewell quotes a contemporary chronicler Ferishta, who notes: The plunder was so great that every private man in the allied army became rich in gold, jewels, effects, tents, arms, horses, and slaves, as the sultans, left every person in possession of what he had acquired, only taking elephants for their own use … The kingdom of Beejanuggur since this battle has never recovered its ancient splendour; the city itself was so destroyed, that it is now totally in ruins and uninhabited; while the country has been seized on by the tributary chiefs, each of whom hath assumed an independent power in his own district."
