Vijayapurakathā (विजयपुरकथा) as mentioned in Aufrecht’s Catalogus Catalogorum:—‘a short account of Vijayapur and its Mohammedan sovereigns’ [Mackenzie Collection] 98. The same tract in 5 leaves is found in Io. 3179. Its title is Vijayapuramahārājadhānyāṃ Dakhanīpādaśāhānāṃ vistāraḥ. This is a meagre list of the Mohammedan and Hindu rulers of Vijayapura in the Dekkan, up to the conquest by the Mlechas (the English), and was copied and no doubt composed in 1808 by Pānduraṅga, son of Rāma Jyotirvid, and great grandson of the astronomer Tammaṇa, who lived under Aurangzīb.
