Statements (1), (2) and (4) are correct. The Vijayanagara kings claimed to rule on behalf of God Virupaksha. All the royal orders were signed 'Shri Virupaksha', usually in the Kannada script only (not Tamil and Sanskrit). So, statement (3) is incorrect. The rulers also indicated their close links with the Gods by using the title 'Hindu Suratrana', which meant 'Hindu Sultan'.
