1352. The Tiruvaṇṇāmalai inscription of Kampa dated
1352 also confirms this.
Vira Sāvaṇṇa seems to have played the most im-
portant part in this preliminary campaign against the
Sambuvarāya undertaken by about 1350-51. Vira
Savanna's general Sāluva Mangu distinguished himself
in this campaign as his title Sambuvarāyasthāpanā-
cārya should indicate.¹¹
Kampana might or might not have actually taken
part in the first campaign. It is likely he sent in his
reinforcements and after the subjugation of the Sam-
buvaraya territory he stayed in Tiruvanṇāmalai the
temporary capital of the Hoysala ruler Vira Ballāla III
for a short time. Vīra Savanna, after defeating the
Sambuvarāya, reinstated him in his position evidently
on his recognising Vijayanagar overlordship.¹2
We do not have inscriptions of Kampana in the
Tamil country for some years after 1352 while we have
inscriptions of Vira Sāvaṛṇa during this period. We
may, therefore, conclude that Kampana returned to
Mulbagal after the end of the first campaign leaving the
Tamil country under Savanna's control.¹3
11. This title is not only mentioned in some literary works (Ref.
the section of Saluva Mangu in this essay) but also in an inscription
coming from Villiyanur (A.R.E., 1936-37, p. 80).
12. Kampana must have started early enough from Mulbagal, say
about 1350 to direct the operations. The whole affair (viz. the subju-
gation of the Sambuvarāya) must have ended before 1352 and the
Tiruvannamalai inscription of Kampaņa must have been cut only after
the end of the victory.
There are two records of 'Savanna dēva Maharaja' at Villiyanallur
(A.R.E., 195 and 196 of 1936-37) which refer to Savanna as Sambuva-
rāyasthāpanāçārya. These are among the very last records of Savaṇṇa.
13. Cf. Madhurāvijayam. Reference is made to Kampana's start-
ing from the Vijayanagar capital on his final campaign the Sambuva-
raya.
