Sambuvarayar

The Sambuvarayar were Tamil chieftains who ruled from the hill capital of Padaividu. Former Chola vassals, they held an independent kingdom around Kanchipuram and Vellore under Rajanarayana in 1337.

Rajanarayana first allied with Harihara I of Vijayanagara against the Madurai Sultanate. As Vijayanagara expanded south, Harihara's brother Bukka Raya I killed him. The Sambuvarayar kingdom ended in 1375, and its lands passed to Vijayanagara.
