v2.c24.s1.43

The Vaiṣṇava Brahmans of the fourteen *vṛttis* in the middle of the village Baṇḍūr, in A. D. 1325, gave a written agreement (*patra-śāsana*) to the Brahmans of the six-sides of all-honoured great *agrahāra* Prasanna-Sōmanāthapura, making certain exchange of lands.³ These *āchāryas*, Vaiṣṇavas and Nambiyars of Baṇḍūr, we may incidentally note, had received a written grant (*patra-śāsana*) from the Hoysala king Vira Narasimha Dēva in A. D. 1281.⁴
