The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c26.106

v1.c26.106

11. Very little is known about the other states of Kanara during Venkata II's reign. The year 1602 seems to have witnessed the death of Obana Nayaka; who, being appointed by Sadasiva chief of Chitaldroog, had acquired considerable importance during the reign of Tirumala and Ranga. He was now succeeded by his son Kasturi Rangappa Nayaka, during whose reign the possession of Mayakonda, Sente Bennur, Holalkere, Anaji Jagalur and other places was contested in several battles with the Basvapatna chief. But they remained attached to the Chitaldroog territory. His governorship lasted until 1653; and in the long tenure of his office he had considerably extended his territories ¹.
