He was succeeded in order by his sons Śrī-Ranga-Rāya I and Vēnkaṭapati-Rāya I. The former, halting in Uddagiri (? Udayagiri), captured the hill-forts of Koṇḍavīḍu and Vinikoṇḍa (both in the Krishna District), and took up his residence in Penugoṇḍa. Vēnkaṭapati-Rāya, his brother, was next anointed to the throne in Suragiri (Penugoṇḍa) by Tātāchārya, the family guru, but removed the capital to Chandragiri (in North Arcot). Immediately after his accession he dispersed the hosts of Yavana fiends. His army also plundered Malik Ibrāhīm's son Muhammad Shāh (both kings of Golkoṇḍa) of horses, elephants, and white umbrella, so that he returned home in disgrace. Among other titles, Vēnkaṭapati has those of Manniyān and Sāmūla, and displacer of Oḍḍiya-Rāya (the Orissa king). It was during his reign, and apparently with his consent, that the Rājas of Mysore gained Seringapatam, and thus became independent.
