Social and Political Life in the Vijayanagara Empire (A.D. 1346 – A.D. 1646) v1.c9.s2.95

v1.c9.s2.95

The internal evidence supplied by "Mb. 158" and "Gd. 46", therefore, is not only conflicting in itself but is also irreconcilable with that given by other contemporary records. Therefore, one may safely assert that the statements, especially those relating to the foundation of the capital by Harihara with the aid of Vidyāraṇya in or about A.D. 1336 made in the suspicious grants called "Mb. 158" and "Gd. 46", are not of any historical value.¹
