The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c17.44

v1.c17.44

These were probably some of the rebel chiefs reduced by Tirumala to his obedience; but they were not all, for according to the apocryphal prophecy of the Mackenzie Collection, from the year 1569 onwards, 'the country will be in great confusion then for five years' 4. From this we conclude that the rebellion lasted until the first years of the reign of Ranga I, and was perhaps one of the causes of Tirumala's abdication.
