Countinho in the same letter calls Tirumala 'the heir of this kingdom' ³. Again Tirumala is called 'the crown prince' by Fr. Guerreiro in 1604 ⁴; and Fr. Coutinho once more calls him 'the Prince', in a letter of 1608 ⁵, although in the same letter he states that Venkata 'does not want either to name or to hear anybody talk of Tirumala' ⁶. Such was the hatred of the sovereign for the elder of his two nephews. Thereupon prince Tirumala retired from Seringapatam, as already narrated, according to the wishes of Venkata himself. - [Previous: v1.c30.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c30.77) - [Next: v1.c30.79](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c30.79) - [Up: v1.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c30.78](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c30.78) · Pramāṇa
