The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c12.60

v1.c12.60

These Pandya chiefs were probably content to be dependent on Vijayanagara. They maintained a modified subordinate authority in at least a part of their dominions. But when the dynasty founded by Kampana was tottering, they began to think of independence, and actually, more than once, it seems, tried to expel from their country the officials of the Emperors of Vijayanagara. There is good evidence of a successful Pandya inroad as far as Kanchivaram in 1469². This explains the subsequent military expeditions sent by the sovereigns of Vijayanagara from time to time.
