Administration and Social Life under Vijayanagar c6.10

c6.10

Thus during this period of confusion at Vijayanagar (1404-06) these three rulers appear to have each had some support, though it is not apparent from the evidence available that Bukka II and Virūpākṣa I were crowned kings. The coronation of Dēva Rāya I however finds explicit mention in the inscriptions. We do not know, however, why Dēva Rāya I was crowned king in preference to Bukka II who had already acted as the Yuvarāja and had been Co-ruler with his father for some time.
