In para 107 of the Introduction, it has been suggested
that Brahmanya Thirtha probably came to notice in the
famine of 1423-25 A.D. The mothers of Sripadaraja and
Brahmanya Thirtha were sisters according to tradition. (See
para 69.) Sripadaraja also must have been,
therefore, a young man in 1423-25 A.D. Svarnavarna, the
Guru of Sripadaraja, therefore, probably flourished in the
period 1370 to 1430 A.D. Srirangam was made safe for
Hindu worship in 1370--71 A.D. (see para 36). Svarnavarna
whose Brindavana has been discovered in Srirangam must
have gone to Srirangam after 1370-71 A.D. The date of
Svarnavarna cannot be deduced from Mulbagal 1 of the
Epigraphia Carnatica, Kolar Volume, for the reasons given
by Rao Bahadur Mr. R. Narasimhachar in para 94 of the
Mysore Archæological Report for 1908--09.

The Koyilolugu appears to say that Saka 1411-1489 A.D.
was the date of the defeat of Koneri Raja by Narasa. (See
Indian Antiquary, Vol. XL, p. 142.) But the dates of the
Koyilolugu cannot be taken without critical examination.
The author of the article, Mr. K. V. Subrahmanya Iyer him-
self, notes that there are mistakes in the dates of the
Koyilolugu with respect to the Muhammadan advance on
Srirangam and the dates of the Nayak kings of Madura.
The statement in the Koyilolugu (Indian Antiquary, Vol. XL,
p. 142) that Vira Narasinga Raya (meaning Saluva Narasimha
I) was ruling the Vijayanagar kingdom with Kanigiri in the
Nellore District as his capital, is rather strange. The dis-
cussion in the text of the Introduction to this book about
Konetiraja is, therefore, not superfluous. Konerinmaikondan
