Answer 2

Answer:

One of the general themes about history and how human beings remember it is that they remember those events better which are closer to their timeline. This is one of the reasons why World War-II is better remembered than World War-I. Similarly, Krishnadevaraya’s reign was about two centuries after Harihara and Bukka. Harihara’s and Bukka’s reigns were in the 14th century CE whereas Krishnadevaraya’s reign was two centuries later, in the 16th century CE. So naturally, he would be better remembered.

However, there is no doubt that Krishnadevaraya was the greatest of all emperors of the Karnataka SAmrajya or the Vijayanagara Empire. It was under him that the empire reached the pinnacle. KA Nilakanta Sastri has described the reign of Krishnadevaraya in the following way.

Explanation:

Krishnadevaraya was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire who reigned from 1509–1529. He is the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty. Presiding over the empire at its zenith, he is regarded as an icon by many Indians. Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana (lit, "Lord of the Kannada empire"), Andhra Bhoja (lit, "Bhoja for Telugu Literature") and Mooru Rayara Ganda (lit, "King of Three Kings"). He became the dominant ruler of the peninsula of India by defeating the Sultans of Bijapur, Golconda, the Bahmani Sultanate and the Gajapatis of Odisha, and was one of the most powerful Hindu rulers in India.[4] Indeed, when the Mughal Emperor Babur was taking stock of the potentates of north India, Krishnadevaraya was rated the most powerful and had the most extensive empire in the subcontinent.Portuguese travellers Domingo Paes and Fernao Nuniz also visited the Vijayanagara Empire during his reign. Travelogues indicate that the king was not only an able administrator but also an excellent general, leading from the front in battle and even attending to the wounded. The south Indian poet Muku Timmana praised him as the destroyer of the Turkics.[6] Krishna Deva Raya benefited from the able prime minister Timmarusu, who was regarded by the emperor as a father figure and was responsible for his coronation.
