Gangadevi, also known as Gangambika, was a 14th-century princess and Sanskrit-language poet of the Vijayanagara Empire of present-day India. She was wife of Kumara Kampana, the son of the Vijayanagara king Bukka Raya I (c. 1360s-1370s).[1]
Gangadevi chronicled the story of the victory of her husband over the 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, and then 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]
She is believed to be a Telugu princess. At the beginning of Madhura Vijayam, Gangadevi eulogizes several Sanskrit poets of the Telugu-speaking region, and particularly admires Tikkaya (identified with Tikkana, the author of Andhra Mahabharatam). This is considered to be a strong evidence of her Telugu ancestry.[5]
