him as the second Hari Hararaya. Based on the inscriptions at
Tiruvannamalai, Historians opine that Kamparaja fell sick in
1362 and died about 1374 A. D. It has to be examined which
Kampana he was. He cannot be Veera Kampana. The truth or
otherwise of these inscriptions has to be examined. There are
several improbabilities in them.
Bukkaraju donated the village Penchukala Dinne within the
jurisdiction of the fort at Gutti to the Telugu poet Nachana Soma.
This donation was referred to in two inscriptions mentioned in
'Epigraphica Karnatica' which were extracted from copper
inscriptions written in Devanagari script. They are inconsistant
with one another regarding the time of this endowment. One
fixes it up as Saka 1206 (रसाभ्रनयनेन्दुसंख्याक), ie. A. D. 1284. The
other puts it in (रसभूतनयनेन्दुसंख्याक) Saka 1216, ie., A. D. 1294. But
the Telugu Year Tarana mentioned in both of them does not
correspond to either of the above two years. Therefore it looks as
though the research scholars seem to have determined the time
in accordance with their own concept of history. This is how
our history is compiled.
Apart from the year Tarana, Bukkaraju's regime must have
commenced some time prior, some where in Anegonde or so, as
indicated in this inscription. Some other authorities also
vouchsafe the same. Even this Kavya, if scrutinised, affirms it.
It is not without some truth. Research scholars link the admi-
nistration of the kingdom of Vijayanagar with this, and because
the construction of Vijayanagar was not by then achieved, they
want to correct it as, “ अलंकृते शकस्याब्दे रसर्तुनयनेन्दुभिः” on the
basis of the Kapaluru inscription or some other. (Vide
introduction to Uttaraharivamsa 1901 edition of Vavillas).
