The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c13.66

v1.c13.66

¹ Mr. Rangachari, *Ind. Ant.*, XLIII, p. 231, supposes another inroad of the Travancore king into the Pandya territory; but he does not notice that the inscription he points out as a proof of his statement is dated 1546 and Vitthala's expedition had taken place two years before. Dr. S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar, *Sources*, p. 17, states also that the Travancore sovereign "had established himself so far successfully in the South that he held Kayal on the Fishery Coast in his possession and appointed a Viceroy", but he does not prove his statement. I think sufficient reason for such an expedition the fact that the tribute was not paid by Travancore.
