Some records, however, supply still more convincing evidence on the point. Thus the emperor Amoghavarsha of the Deccan (*c.* 850 A.D.) is seen donating the village of Taleyur and also a flower garden, 500 × 150 cubits in dimension, *situated in the same village*.³ King Govindachandra of the U. P. (*c.* 1150 A. D.) is found giving the village of Loḷisapāda *along with the field named Tiyayi situated in it*.⁴ If the donation of a village had meant the transfer of the ownership of the entire land situated in it, it would not have been necessary to specify the further gift of certain gardens or fields in it.
