The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c20.10

v1.c20.10

Rama had married Narasingama and had by her two sons, Tirumala and Sri Ranga, who must have been quite young at the time of their father’s death; for when the throne was vacant some years later after the demise of their uncle Ranga I, they were still considered too young to rule the Empire, as we shall see later on. On this occasion both brothers jointly succeeded their father in the viceroyalty; but probably on account of their tender age, its administration was left in the hands of their Dalavay, Remati Venkatayya ³.
