The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c12.132

v1.c12.132

Nagama Nayaka, a descendant of the Kasyapa gotra 2, was born at Kanchivaram 3. He had been Tosekhana Adhikari, or officer of the treasury 4, and is said to have founded a village on the hill at Tirukkachchur for the merit of the king 5. He was much in favour with the founder of the Saluva dynasty, and was called, in two different inscriptions, "the foremost of the servants of the Saluva King Narasimha Raya" 6. His birudas may be seen in the Krishnapuram plates of Sadasiva 7. There is an inscription about him of the time of Saluva Narasimha in one of the gopurams of the temple at Virinjipuram. Another inscription at Chidambaram seems to mention him also 8.
