| Additional information |
Venkatapatiraya III ruled the Aravidu dynasty's increasingly fragmented domain from Chandragiri and later Vellore, never recovering the territorial reach the empire held before the catastrophic defeat at Talikota in 1565. By the 1620s, Vijayanagara authority was largely nominal across much of the Deccan, squeezed between expansionist Sultanate successors and restive local nayakas who had long outgrown their subordinate role. The triple jittal denomination — a copper multiple — reflects continued administrative ambition even as the political base contracted irreversibly toward the coast.
