Madura Vijayam 1924 Edition

Gangadevi, also known as Gangambika, was a 14th-century princess and Sanskrit-language poet of the Vijayanagara Empire of present-day India.

Life and work

Gangadevi was the wife of Veerakamparaya, son of the Vijayanagara monarch Bukka Raya I (c. 1360s-1370s).[1]

Gangadevi chronicled the story of her husband's victory over the Turko-Persian Muslims in Madurai in the form of a poem.[2] The title of the nine chapter poem was Madhura Vijayam, also known as Veerakamparaya Charitram.[2][3][4] After the discovery of the documents, a Tamil version was published by Sri Krishnamacharya of Srirangam. Annamalai University published an English translation in 1950.[2] In addition to writing, she also fought in battle with her husband and inspired other women.[2]

Influence

Gangadevi is a key inspiration for Pampa Kampana, the protagonist of Salman Rushdie's novel Victory City.[5]
