The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c14.84

v1.c14.84

These were two young Kshatriyas of the tribe of Yadava, Krishna’s tribe, named Vijaya and Krishna, who, according to tradition, had left Dvaraka in Gujarat to establish themselves in the South³. Their enterprise in rescuing the daughter of the Wodeyar of Hadana from the hands of the chief of Carugalli seems more a poetical figment than a historical fact. The truth is that Vijaya was fortunate enough to attain the chieftainship of one or two towns that proved to be the basis of the future aggrandizement of the family. We have no knowledge of the date of Vijaya’s arrival in the South⁴.
