Social and Political Life in the Vijayanagara Empire (A.D. 1346 – A.D. 1646) v1.c10.s5.t3.22

v1.c10.s5.t3.22

In the third year of the reign of Kōv-Irāja-Kēsari-panmar, *alias* Sri-Rājādhirāja Dēvar (i.e., in A.D. 1050) his commander (*sēnāpati*), Jayaṅgoṇḍa Sōḷa-Vāṇa-Kōvaraiyan, agreed to receive as the landlord's share two-fifths of the wet crops and one-quarter of the dry crops in the Maṇṇai-nāḍu, of Vikkirama-Sōḷamaṇḍala.³ An inscription of A.D. 1046, however, enables us to fix the rate of taxation in the reign of that king. For the inscription states that it was one-sixth that was levied by the State.¹
