The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c31.126

v1.c31.126

At the very court of Chandragiri the Jesuits started another school of this type. It was supposed to be a school for the sons of the Telugu nobles who were living at the court. There was in it a Hindu teacher under the direction of the missionaries, who besides defrayed the expenses of the institution 3. This school and that of Madura are mentioned again in another Jesuit letter of the following year 1607 4; and we suppose they continued in the following years. The Chandragiri school was perhaps transferred to Vellore when the capital was established there, and finally closed at the time of the final departure of the Jesuits.
