‘Through the mass of the rays (which issue from) its golden walls, and which are reflected in the water of its moat, this (city, Vijayanagara) closely resembles the earth, that is surrounded by the girdle of the ocean, which is encircled by the lustre of the submarine fire.’—(Vijayanagara Inscrip. of Devaraja II, lines 7–8, *H.S.I.I.*, Vol. I, no. 153, pp. 162, 164.)
