Thus the village of Kannaḍige granted in the Honwad inscription of Someśvara I is in Bijapur Taluka, about a hundred miles from Karhāṭaka or Karad, the capital of Karhāṭaka 4,000 in which it was situated. It must be confessed that if Karhāṭaka 4,000 meant a division of 4,000 estates situated round about Karhad, it is almost impossible to explain the existence of one of these estates nearly a hundred miles from Karhad, unless we assume that big Zemindaris existed in the Deccan of our period, about which, however, there is no evidence yet forthcoming. A \*grāma\* in the Karhāṭaka 4,000 can be found in Bijapur district, only if we assume that the term indicated a village and not an estate. - [Previous: c14.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.42) - [Next: c14.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.44) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.altekar-1934.c14.43) · Pramāṇa
