The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c30.4

v1.c30.4

Considerable discussion has arisen concerning the wives of Venkata II, because the contemporary sources agree neither as to their number or their names. Our own opinion is that such differences spring from the obvious fact that these contemporary sources give the number of Venkata's wives at the time of their composition, and could by no means give the names of all the wives of this monarch. In the light of this fact there is really no discrepancy among the different documents; and indeed there is a perfect agreement between the indigenous and the foreign sources.
