The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c12.88

8. One of the subordinate governors of Krishna in the South, named Sellapa, had revolted against him. He was defeated by an imperial army, fled from his province, and took refuge in the kingdom of Travancore. What province was the one ruled by Sellapa is not quite clear; but it seems probable that Sellapa was the same ruler of the Chola kingdom whom the *Achyutarayabhyudayam* speaks of a little later on ³. Travancore was supposed to be at this time tributary to Vijayanagara, ⁴. Its king not only received the fugitive under his protection, but made an alliance with him. Both invaded the Pandya kingdom, waged war against its ruler and drove him from his ancestral dominions ⁵.
