A History of South India from Prehistoric Times to the Fall of Vijayanagar c15.25

c15.25

The Yādava throne descended to Singhana's grandson Krishna (1247-60)—his son Jaitugi II having died in his father's lifetime. Although he lost some territory in the south-western Andhradesh to Kākatīya Ganapati, he may be said in general to have passed on undiminished the extensive empire he had inherited. His reign is chiefly remarkable for its literary activity: his minister and general Jalhana compiled an anthology of Sanskrit verse, and Amalānanda's Vedāntakalpataru also dates from this time. Krishna himself seems to have been a religious man who performed many sacrifices.
