adorned Kamparaya with all his royal jewellery, before sending him
for the invasion. The royal honours observed, when Kamparaya
was starting for the invasion, also prove, that he was the Yuvaraja
(Prince designate). (Vide slokas, 1, 3, 16, 28 in Sarga 2; slokas 38,
39 and 45 in Sarga 3; Slokas 19, 31, 32 & 33 in Sarga 4).
He is also described as having had an eldest wedded wife even
prior to the invasion, but does not appear to have had any children,
by then. (Slokas 18 & 19 in Sarga 3). Bukkaraja appears to have
taken it upon himself the protection of the capital, and entrusted
the task of invasion to Kamparaya. Statecraft also necessitates
the same. Bukkaraya had very deep affection for him. (Sloka 35,
Sarga 2, Sloka 43 & 36 Sarga 3). Even before the invasion, he
subdued several enemies, and earned repute, as a great warrior
(Slo. 20 & 16, Sarga 3). Initiation into statecraft therein, appears
to have been got to indicate that he is the next successor to the
throne. Tradition also asserts the same. Even when he was
ruling from Kanchipuram, he was described as a Samraat
(emperor). (Slo. 7 & 9 in S. 5). The administration of Kanchi-
puram, enjoined by Bukkaraya on Kamparaya was merely a
temporary phase, as a part of the scheme for the conquest of
Madhura. To win over the hearts of the people then, admini-
stration by Kamparaya, there, became necessary, " प्रशाधि काद्मी
मनुवर्तित प्रज॰जः". in Slo. 4153 also indicates the same. That it is
part of the scheme is mentioned in Slo. 42 in Sar. 3.
It is not known, if, after the conquest of Madhura, he has
appointed his brother Kamparaya as king of Kanchipuram.
Historians assert that Kumara Kampana has appointed his own son
Vijayana as the ruler of Kanchipuram, after himself. Whatever
it is, a critical study of this Kavya convinces us that the Samraat
