 things ; and, being illustrious as the sun, he at length acquired Swer-

Immadi deva and j^^^^ Immadi-deva-raya. Mallicarjuna being 

 TimmanaDalayayi. crowned in VijoAjanagara, and being associated 

 with his younger brother Immadi-deva-raya, and 

 also with Timmana-nayaka^ as Dalavayi, he protected and govern- 

 ed the Andhra and Carnataca countries. He also conquered the 

 country to the- south of these ; and desiring further tribute, he pro- 

 ceeded with many horses, elephants, and other warlike equipage to 

 Kerala-desam, and warring with the Kerala-raja^ he took thence 

 much treasure, many jewels, and other matters, and again returned to 

 Vidya-nagarapatnam.'^ Subsequently governing the kingdom with 

 great equity, he built many temples and Brahman's dwellings ; and 

 gave to his own favorite God Mallicdrjuna-svami] of Talicad 

 much treasure and land, for the secret services of the temple, 

 and performed much charity. The Mantri of Mallicarjuna nam- 

 ed Timmana-nayaka built a large car for Pachama-rangha-svamiy

 the principal wife of Timmana-raya named Ran- 

 gha-amma, voluntarily gave for the secret services of (the temple) of 

 Fachatna-rangha-svami the village named Hangha-pur am in the tem- 

 ple district of Qne~mddu, situated in Cura-vanga-ndttu. That Tim- 

 mana-nayaka caused the temple itself to be well built, and gave to 

 Bangha svami many gifts of land. 



* Vidyanagara.— From other documents we learn that the site of the future metropo- 

 lis was a sort of hermitage, where Madhvacharya dwelt ; hence called " Town of 

 Learning." The sage is generally understood to have assisted the sons of Sangaman 

 with his counsels, and more solid aid, against the Mahomedans. 



t Mallicarjuna-svarai of Talicad. What Talicad 1 One placed south of the modern Se- 

 ringapatam ; or one a little north of Anagundi or Vijayanagaram. To me the latter 

 seems most likely. And though Talicota differs from Talicadu, yet it is only thus— Ta- 

 licadu would be the earlier name, and Talicota would come into use after a fort had 

 been built. 



W^e find "secret services," again, and Mallicarjuna is I believe a name of Siva. Timmana 

 is termed Mantri, and before Dalavayi : hence it is clear, that he held the reins of Govern- 

 ment. It almost necessarily follows that Mallicarjuna-raya and Immadi-raya were two 

 puppets ; according to a frequent case of Hindu rule ; and to that circumstance probably 

 is to be attributed the invasion (whether with or without treason cannot be determined) 

 of the Yadava chief Narasingha, and the consequent change of dynasty.
