The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c30.18

v1.c30.18

The Ramarajiyamu makes no reference to the family of Venkatamba. She is the only one whose father is not mentioned. Hence she must be the one spoken of by Fr. Barradas as the daughter of Jaga Raya, by the name of Bayamma, ⁴ ‘as any lady could be called Bayamma in Telugu’, to quote Dr. S. Krishnaswami Aiyangar ⁵. She appears to have been the first Queen, as she is always mentioned first, and may be identified with the one said by Barradas to be ‘of the same age as the King’ ⁶.
