A Forgotten Empire (Vijayanagar): A Contribution to the History of India c21.s3.t13.5

c21.s3.t13.5

¹ (Above, p. 310 f.) The original text has "*e fez regedor hũu filho Codemerade*," but I cannot identify the name with any ordinary Hindu name or title; and if "son of Codemerade" be meant, as I suppose, the *de* has been omitted accidentally. If, however, there has been a confusion of syllables and the original reading was "*filho de Codemera*," then I would point to the list given above of powerful nobles (p. 327) who commanded the forces of the king in the great Râchol campaign, one of whom was called *Comdamara*. In the concluding paragraph of this chapter we have this new minister's name given as "Ajaboissa," and in the list of provincial lords (p. 385 below) as "Ajaparcatimapa." The latter name sounds more probable than the former. The first half would be the family name, the last, "Timmappa," his own personal name.
