<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Actually there were four dyansties in Vijayanagara. Krishna Deva Raya belonged to Tuluva not Saluva
1 Sangama: to which Harihara, Bukka, Devraya etc. belonged
2 Saluva: Only one guy Saluva Narasimha, who was general of Praudha raya and later deposed the king to become king himself.
3 Tuluva: Narasa Nayaka and his sons Immadi Narasimha, Krishna Deva Raya, Achyuta Raya
4 Aravidu: Rama Raya etc.
Tuluvas were from Tulunadu. I think Saluva Narasimha was Brahmin because Krishna Deva Raya had a Brahmin minister named Saluva Timma. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes you are correct, sorry for the mistake.
If you want to find out their origins for sure, read up Nilakanta Sastri's "Further Sources of Vijayanagar history", I think it's in 2 volumes, several older chornicles quoted in the book mention the Kuruba origin of Deva Raya and Harihara and Bukka, I think they may mention the Saluva origins as well.
