An annotated translation of a medieval South Indian historiographic text in Telegu dealing with the reign of Krishnadevaraya (ruled 1509-29). The ethnohistorical introduction explains that the text is not contemporaneous with its subject as is often thought, but was written about 90 years later for the purpose of legitimizing the authority of the Madurai Nakaya regime, descendants of Krishnadevaraya, and discrediting that of a rival family.
