13. The new capital of the Empire of Vijayanagara deserves some notice here. Penukonda was a hill fort, three thousand feet high, in the South of the present Anantapur District; “eight dayes journey up in the land from Bezeneger (Vijayanagar)”, in the words of Frederick. The town is situated at the foot of a hill which gives its name to the place: Penukonda means ‘big hill’.
