Social and Political Life in the Vijayanagara Empire (A.D. 1346 – A.D. 1646) v2.c23.s1.27

v2.c23.s1.27

We can only assume that the size of the houses in Vijayanagara must have remained much the same as it was in the thirteenth century. In about A. D. 1297, the Brahmans (of Bogguvaḷḷi in Tarikere tāluka ?) made a settlement as to the size of the houses in the first and second rows, and of the gardens. It ran thus: *mahājanaṅgaḷu māḍida grāma samaya manē-prathama-nivēśanakke hannoṇḍu kayi dvitīya-nivēśanakke hattu kayi tōṇṭa-vṛttige kamba eṇṭu kaḷani-vṛttige henneraḍu-kayya agala nālvattu kayya agala ī-mariyādeyalu māḍida dhruva*¹.
