Further, Mysore Kingdom was a subordinate power to the Vijayanagara Empire and would not survive without aids and grants from the high command.
When he ascended the throne, the Vijayanagara Empire, although prosperous and a militarily power, was in a political crisis, with successive and frequent assassinations of the Sangama emperors.
Hence, Deva Raya II's reign, and transitively Chamaraja Wodeyar I's formed the golden era of South India under the Vijayanagara Empire.
Chamaraja Wodeyar took village-level organisations and other governing bodies beyond his domain under his control, without resorting to military action, thereby diplomatically accessing remote, uninhabited places and those with settlements.
He is noted for containing the contempt of the remnant Dalvoys for the Vijayanagara Empire and the new Kingdom of Mysore.
