c13.16

There are several of the eloquent and elaborate Vijayanagar inscriptions composed by the court poet Sabhāpati (Sh 1, Hn 6, Gu 30, Pg 4, Cn 167, Pg 75, Hk 132, Md 55) and his descendants. Tm 1 is by his son Kaviśāsana Svayambhu; Ck 39 and Sh 83 by his grandson Krishnakavi Kāmakōṭi; and Mb 60 by his great-grandson Rāma, the son of Kāmakōṭi. Another accomplished author was the minister Tirumalārya, son of Alasingārya, who composed TN 23 and Ch 92. Then Sr 64 was composed by the poet Tirumaleyācharya, skilled in Karṇāṭa, Āndhra, and Sanskrit poetry, and in singing; constant reader of the *Rāmāyaṇa* and *Bhārata*.
