Krishnadeva Raya, he wrote: 'He is the most perfect king that could be, cheerful of disposition and very merry. He is a great ruler and a man of much justice'. Krishnadeva Raya succeeded his elder brother Veera Narasimha in the year 1509. According to a legend Veera Narasimha wanted to have Krishnadeva Raya killed but his is not corroborated by evidence from historical sources. Krishnadeva ray was a shrewd general and an astute statesman. As an accomplished poet and a patron of the arts, his literary court was adorned by eminent poets and scholars in Telegu, Kannda and Sanskrit. Krishnadeva Raya himself wrote a Telegu classic, 'Amukta-Malyada' and a play in Sanskrit, 'Jambavati-Kalyana'. The saint-philosopher Vyasa Tirtha, the saint-composers Purandara Dasa and Kanakadasa, were his contemporaries. The well-known wit, Tenali Ramakrishna was a favorite of the king. The temples of Rama and Vitthala, the ruins of which are extant in Hampi (near Hospet in Karnataka), were constructed during his reign.
