Rajanarayana Sambuvarayar

Rajanarayana Sambuvarayar was a Tamil chief of the Sambuvarayar family who became an independent ruler of Tondaimandalam as the Hoysala and Pandya kingdoms crumbled. From 1337 he issued records in his own regnal years and held Kanchi with his fortress at Padaiveedu.

Around 1350 a Vijayanagara army led by Vira Savanna defeated him, then restored him as a vassal. He died around 1362, after which renewed Vijayanagara campaigns destroyed his power and annexed Tondaimandalam.
