v1.c7.s3.90

That the Hoysala memories lingered on in the Vijayanagara mind for years to come can be seen from some more instances. In A.D. 1368 an officer called Gaṇapatima, acting under the orders of his master Basāvayya Daṇṇayaka, during the times of Bukkaṇṇa Oḍeya, was "like the treasury of his (i.e., of Basavaya's) right-hand, governing the south of the Kāvēri in the country of the strong-armed Viṣṇuvardhana Pratāpa Hoysala".¹ Then again in A.D. 1376, while Harihara II was at Vijayanagara, a royal grant was made of the village of Hebasūr, with its ten hamlets, belonging to Koṅguṇāḍu, on the north bank of the Kāvēri, in the Hoysaṇa country.² The same monarch in A.D. 1382 was ruling over Beḷanagara, the chief jewel in the crown of the Hoysala kingdom.³ Bukka Rāya, the son of Harihara, in A.D. 1388, was at Peṇugoṇḍa,⁴ which was once a Hoysala capital.
