From manuscripts and coins! we know a son of Bukka II. by Tipp[@]mba, named ViraBhupati, to whom we have to assign two inscriptions of Vira-Bhupati-Udaiyar, which are noticed by Mr. Venkayya, vis. one of Saka-Samvat 1331 at Srirangam, and one of SakaSamyat 1336, the Manmatha year, at Tiruppandurutti.

TRANSLATION. Hail! Prosperity! In the sake year (expressed by the chronogram) bandhupriya (i.e. Saka-Samyat 1293).
(Verse 1.) Having brought (the god) from the Añjana dri (mountain), the splendour of whose darkish peaks gives delight to the world, having worshipped (him) at Chefchi for some time, then having slain the Tulushkas whose bows were raised, -Goppanarya, the mirror of fame, placing Ranganktha together with both Lakshmi and the Earth in his own town, again duly performed excellent worship.
(V. 2.) Having carried Rangaraja, the lord of the world, from the slope of the Vpishabbagiri (mountain) to his capital, lo having slain by his army the proud Taulushka soldiers, having made the site of Sriranga united with the golden age (Kritayuga), and having placed there this (god) together with Lakshmi and the Earth,- the Brahmaņa Gopaņa duly performs, like the lotus-born (Brahma), the worship which has to be practised.
