From the inscriptions we obtain, according to Wilson, 17 



the following results : — 



1. Bukka (A.D. 137Q-1381). | 8. Achyuta (A.D. 1530-1542). 



2. Harihara (A.D. 1385-1429). j 9. Sadasiva (A.D. 1542-1570). 



3. Deva Raya (A.D. 1426-1458). | 10. Rama Raja (A.D. 1547-1562). 



4. MaUikarjuna (A.D. 1451-1465). 11. Trimala (A.D. 1560-1571). 



5. Virupaksha (A.D. 1473-1479). 12. Sriranga (A.D. 1574-1584). 



6. Narasinha (A.D. 1487-1508). 13. Venkatapati (A.D. 1587-1608). 



7. Krishna (A.D. 1508-1530). 14. Vlrarama (A.D. 1622-1626). 



The principal question now before us is whether we are 

 able to adjust somewhat these discrepant statements. Follow- 

 ing as authority our two sasanams, we cannot but decide 

 that in all probability the succession of the earlier kings was 

 as follows : first Bukka 18 (this is not contradictory to Bukka 

 having succeeded his elder brother Harihara), then Harihara, 

 Pratapadeva or Praudha Deva, Vijaya, and Devaraya or 

 Prataparudra. The years of the sasanams — 1338 S.S. and 

 1348 S.S., or 1416 and 1425 A.D.— agree with those of the 

 reigns of Yijaya and Devaraya according to the lists of 

 Ravenshaw and of the Local Records.
