v2.c15.s2.t3.96

An important event in the civil administration of the country was the change of the capital from Anumakoṇḍa to Warangal. The foundations of the new capital were laid, as we have mentioned above, by Gaṇapati's uncle Rudradēva in the last years of his reign. Gaṇapati continued his work, and built two forts one within the other, constructed respectively of stone and of mud. The new fort, if we can rely on tradition, was provided with seventy-five bastions, each of which was guarded by a *nāyaka* in the service of the king.
