v1.c9.s2.59

(b) Granting its authenticity, we cannot deduce from it that the capital was Vijayanagara in A.D. 1336. For it says that Harihara was in Kuñjarakōṇa ("Elephant-pit" = Āneguṇḍi). He reigned from 1336 to A.D. 1353.⁵ Therefore, the city of Vijayanagara did not make its appearance till the end of his reign.
