The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c23.74

v1.c23.74

Krishnappa II had a son; but according to the *Pandyan Chronicle* he had died before his father ⁷. There was also a son of the eldest brother, Visvappa ¹; but since he was a child ², or perhaps, a young man, his uncle ‘Kasturi Rangappa Naicher was crowned’ ³. Thus does the *History of the Karnataka Governors* announce the successor to the throne of Madura after the death of Krishnappa II. Both the *Pandyan Chronicle* ⁴ and the *Supplementary MSS.*, support this ⁵; and no confirmation was needed from Kasturi’s statue, which stands in Tirumala’s choultrie at Madura immediately before the one of Mutu Krishnappa.
