v1.c17.3
THE assassination of Sadasiva Raya naturally led to the accession of the Regent as Emperor of Vijayanagara. When this event took place, Tirumala was a venerable old man: his eldest brother Rama Raya was ninety-six at the time of his death, 1565. Now if we allow only a ten years' difference between them, Tirumala must have been close on ninety when the last representative of the Tuluva family was murdered four years later.
