Explanation: According to some later-day tradition, Vidyaranya (also called Madhava), a renowned Saiva saint and Sanskrit scholar, is said to have persuaded the brothers to abandon their service to the Tughluqs and to renounce Islam that they had adopted when they were imprisoned by the Sultan in Delhi.

Vidyaranya is believed to have played an important role in the foundation of the Vijayanagara kingdom.
