The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c12.185

v1.c12.185

We cannot say how long the period of this second viceroyalty of Visvanatha in Madura lasted; we may only affirm that it lasted but a few months. The *Tanjavuri Andhra Rajula Charitra* says expressly that "as the Pandya was very old, he lived for only a few months and died. Then Visvanatha became the sole ruler of the Pandya and Chola kingdoms". The other chronicles seem to agree with this statement. Therefore it appears probable that when this event took place, Achyuta was still reigning in Vijayanagara.
