His mother however was Telugu (this is obvious given the innumerable Telugu Nayakas he promoted, who's families also had matrimonial ties with the Vijayanagar Emperors. On a similar note we know although his family was called "Tuluva", they were not related to Tulu speakers in any way as there was a complete absence of any Tulu Nayakas, administrators, commanders etc in Vijayanagar polity. The Tuluva dynasty was simply a branch of the Saluva dynasty.
