Hunting was one of the favourite pastimes of the Rāṣṭrakūṭa rulers. One of the inscriptions of Govind III¹⁵⁵ informs us how he speared the boars preserved for his sport, when he returned to Rāmesvaram on the Tungabhadrā. This inscription would show that there were game preserves in the various centres of the empire for the use of the emperors and courtiers.
