A History of the Mahrattas v1.c8.14

v1.c8.14

¹ Said by some to have been the capital of Bullal Deo, Raja of the Carnatic; and by others, to have been the principal sea port of his dominions, and situated in Toolava (Canara), but that its site and harbour are unknown, owing to the ebbing of the sea. [Dora Samudra (Dhoor Summooder), now Halebid, was the capital of the Hoysala dynasty of Mysore (c. 1141–1326). It was sacked by Malik Kāfūr, the favourite of Alā-ud-dīn, in 1310, and finally destroyed by a Muhammadan force sixteen or seventeen years later. (O.H.I., p. 204.)]
