It is to be noted that in
the 14th A.D., a poet named Lolambaraja was patronized
by Haaihara I, composed a court epic titled HariVilasa in 5
cantos which describes the story of the Lord Krishna.
After the period Harihara I and Bukka I, the
king Kampana, the second son of Bukka I was the Emperor of
Vijayanagar in 1343 to 1379 A.D. His wife the Queen GangaDevi was
credited with the authorship of a poem MathuraVijayam also called ViraKampa-RayaCaritam
with 7 cantos. Kampana’s
expedition to the South India and his slaying the ruler of Madurai are
vividly described in this work.
Later, in the beginning of the 16th Century A.D., the poetess named Tirumalamba, the wife and
Queen of AcyutaRaya of Vijayanagar, composed a Campu-Kavya titled Varadambika
Parinaya Campu. In this, she described her husband’s marriage with a princess Varadambika.
This campu is written in fine and attractive style and rarely exhibits the skill of the authoress in the
use of figurative device called Bhangaslesha.
