c10.s2.22

Generally the governors appear to have been appointed by the king in consultation with his ministers. Thus when Mādhava-mantrin, the governor of the Banavāse province, died in 1391, Harihara II deliberated with his ministers as to who could be sent to the Banavāse province to succeed the deceased governor, and finally decided that one Naraharimantrin, a disciple of Vidyā-śaṅkara, must be sent as the governor of the province.⁷⁷
