{'raja wodeyar': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'mysore': [4, 0, 1, 2], 'venkata ii': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sadasiva': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'tirumala': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ranga ii': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Raja Wodeyar founded the Kingdom of Mysore in 1399.

Option 1: Sadasiva was the Vijayanagar emperor from 1542 to 1570. His reign occured later and thus he was not ruling the Vijayanagar Empire when Raja Wodeyar founded the Kingdom of Mysore.

Option 2: Tirumala was the Vijayanagar emperor from 1565 to 1572. His reign also falls outside of the established timeline.

Option 3: Ranga II, also known as Sriranga II, ruled the Vijayanagar empire from 1642 till 1646,, again well after the founding of the Kingdom of Mysore.

Option 4: Venkata II was the Vijayanagar emperor from 1586 to 1614. Although his reign did happen after the establishment of the Kingdom of Mysore, the correct answer could still be Venkata II depending upon the exact event about Raja Wodeyar`s life being considered. However, please verify this because the timing might be inaccurate.
