¹ Dr. S.K. Aiyangar at p. 5 of the Nāyaks of Madura by Mr. R. Satyanatha Aiyar seems to date the commencement of the viceroyalty of Madura rather too early. Rev. Heras (op. cit., pp. 107-8) reproduces apocryphal tales from the chronicles relating to the illegitimate scions of the Pāṇdya family having been raised to power by the viceroy Lakkana. The names of the persons concerned show that the chronicles are giving a confused explanation of the rise of the Bāṇarāya chieftains into prominence under Vijayanagar.
