| Additional information |
Raghunatha Nayak ruled Thanjavur from 1600 to 1634 and is remembered as much for his Sanskrit scholarship and patronage of Telugu literature as for his administration — he authored works himself and kept a court of poets that rivaled anything in contemporary Deccan politics. His copper kasu issues circulated within a regional economy still largely independent of Mughal monetary influence, the Nayaka successor states having retained effective autonomy long after the fall of Vijayanagara at Talikota in 1565.
