The Vijayanagara Empire under Bukka Raya I made a series of efforts to conquer South India. There were a series of Vijayanagara invasions in the middle of the fourteenth century.^[1]

Invasion

Bukka Raya I, king of the Vijayanagara Empire, dispatched his son, Kumara Kampana, with an army to conquer the Madurai Sultanate.^[2] Prince Kampana first killed the king Sambuvaraya of Tondamandala (present-day Kanchipuram), and then the vassal of the Delhi Sultanate, who refused to help him against the Madurai Sultanate.^[3]

Conquest of Madurai Sultanate

Kumara Kampana then marched against the sultan of Madurai. Although both sides used elephants, the Vijayanagar archers were able to pick off the Sultanate elephant riders. During the battle, the Turks started to flee. In response, the sultan charged Kampana and was killed shortly afterward.^[4]^[5]

Aftermath

After Kamapana's victory on the Turashkas, Gopana brought the namperumal and reinstated them, returning the Sri Ranganathaswamy temple^{[disambiguation needed]} to its former glory. From there he then went further south to Ramnäd and Rameswaram, continuing to restore temples while on his route. The southern ocean was reached by 1371, and with this, Kampana's conquests were over.^[6]
