28 B OARD G AME S TUDIES 6, 2003 Fig. 5 Three tigers and fifteen lambs, played on 19 points. One player has 3 tigers and the other 15 lambs which are commonly called as “dogs”; the tiger is usually placed on the apex of the triangle and the second player enters his lambs. All the pieces move in the same way, one step along a marked line, but the lambs cannot be moved until all are entered. The tiger, which alone can capture, takes lambs by the short leap. The tiger wins if he takes so many lambs that they cannot confine him; the lambs win if they succeed in reducing the tiger to immobility. General rule: the number of tigers varies from 1 to 4, and the number of goats from 5 to 23. General notion in the region is that the Grand Master is one who plays with more number of tigers and less number of lambs. Locally this game is also termed a gambling game. Fig. 4. Huli-mane ata (simpler game) Fig. 5. Ane-nayi ata (developed version) Nanjunda, in his Ramanatha charite (1500), has devoted a chapter on games played at Vijayanagara, and narrates how princess Hariyaladevi advised his son Rama not to play the ball game, the hunt game (pulijudam) and the game played with cowry shells, which were meant only to ordinary people and not to royalty, and continued that chaturangam, the “intelligent game”, was an ideal game for the royalty. Almost every one from the lower middle class, especially the agricultural class, sheep rearing caste (kuri kayuvavaru), children, adults and elders, play this game. This game is drawn, with the help of either chalk piece, white powder, charcoal or green leaves juice on the stone benches, in front of the thatched houses, under the shade of trees, roadside shops, or generally leisurely meeting places Two variant games are described in Goparaju’s Simhasana dvatrimsika (1398) and are still in use in this region. - 3 tiger and 18-goat play - 4 tiger and 16-goat play
R.VASANTHA, BOARD G AMES FROM THE C ITY OF V IJAYANAGARA 29 3 tigers and 18 goats 4 tigers and 16 goats • On square board Fig. 6. Huli-kavilemane ata (two-tiger complicated) Fig. 7. Huli-kavilemane ata (four-tiger complicated) Local names: Huli-kavilemane ata, Huli-meke ata (in Kannada) Locations: 1. Hemakuta, 2. Hazara Rama temple Population groups: Sill played by lower classes and agriculture class as strategy game Literary sources: Anantha 1456; Ratnakaravarni 1560 Fig. 6 Played with 2 tigers and 24 sheep. The game begins by entering a tiger on any point of the board, usually the central point. Then his opponent enters one of his sheep. Next the second tiger is entered. The tigers are now free to move, but the opponent goes on entering his sheep, one on each move until all are entered, and only then the sheep make a move. If the tiger succeed in taking eight sheep, they are almost certain to win. Jumps may be in any direction including backwards.
