A record from Bijapur district, dated 1022 A.D., is till more illuminating.(45) The inscription records a grant of 50 mattars of land for the village school given by the 500 Mahājanas of Perur. The land is further described as belonging to the 500 houses of Perur. It is, therefore, absolutely clear that each Mahājana represented a family in the village and that all the families were represented in the village council.
