A History of South India from Prehistoric Times to the Fall of Vijayanagar c6.45

c6.45

For the history of Vijayanagar, Indian literary evidence becomes very voluminous. Much of this has become accessible in two handy collections of select sources brought out by the University of Madras. Though the class of works known as Kālajñānas, purporting to be prophecies of the future by seers, are not as helpful as one would expect, the value of this literature as a whole lies in the necessary corrective it furnishes to biased accounts written by the Muslim historians of the Bāhmani kingdom and its succession states.
