A scheme for the water-supply of Penugoṇḍa, carried out in 1388, is described in Gd 6. The prince Bukka-Rāya, who was the governor, wanted all the subjects to be happy. For this purpose, water being the life of all living beings, he in open court directed the hydraulic engineer to bring the Henne river (the northern Pennār) to Penugoṇḍa. A channel was accordingly made from the river, at Kallūḍi, to the Siruvera tank, ten miles to the north.
