I am inclined to think that Deva Raya II. began to reign in 1419, for the following reason. The informants of Nuniz stated that during Vijaya's reign he "did nothing worth relating," and the chronicle records that during the reign which followed, namely that of Deva Raya II., there was "constant warfare."
The last extant inscription of Deva Raya I. is dated in A.D. 1412 13, the first of his successor Vijaya in 1413 14. Vijaya's last known inscription is one of 1416 17, and the first yet known of his successor, his eldest son, Deva Raya II., is dated Monday, June 26, 1424 25. Nuniz gives Deva Raya II. a reign of twenty-five years.
