v1.c13.3
THE foundation of the Nayak kingdom of Madura was laid by the Emperor Achyuta Raya of Vijayanagara towards the end of his reign, when Visvanatha Nayak had become “the master of the kingdom of Madura”, as the Vellangudi plates of Venkata II read ¹. Accordingly his full title was to be in time to come "Maharaja Mahnie Raja Sri Visvanatha Naayane Ayelugaru". The Krishnapuram plates of Sadasiva inform us that his Queen was named Nagama 1. His kingdom extended from Urrattur and Valikondapuram in the North to Cape Comorin in the South, and from Coimbatore, Erode and Dharapuram in the West to Remeswaram and the sea in the East 2.
