Madhura Vijayam

[6] The text from the Madhura Vijayam as translated by Henry Heras describe thus: Kampanuduaver (Kampana Odeyar), a native of Karnata, having conquered the Muhammadans, took possession of the kingdom.

The general seeing this miracle was glad, struck his eyes, and with great piety made the customary offerings ; he gave many villages to the temple and many jewels, and estab- lished ordinances for the regular performance of worship.[7]M.

Inspired by the exhortation of a Goddess in his dream to extirpate the Mussalmans and to restore the country to its ancient glory, he advances to the South, kills the Sultan of Madura and commemorates his victory by munificent grants to the temples of the country.In the early chapters, Gangadevi, the wife of Kumara Kampanna II, describes the historical background of the Vijayanagara Empire, the benevolent rule of Bukka I, the birth and early life of Kumara Kampanna.

He is visited by a strange woman (described as the Goddess Meenakshi in disguise) who pleads with him to liberate South India from the rule of the Madurai Sultanate.

The final chapters chronicle his invasion of Madurai, where he destroys the Muslim armies, slays the last sultan in single combat and restores the temple of Srirangam to its old glory.

[2][9] The fact that the Madhura Vijayam refers to the Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta of Līlāśuka,[10] praising him (in verse 1.12) immediately after Daṇḍin and Bhavabhūti,[11] has been used to fix a bound on the date of its author.
