INTRODUCTION. XXXIII<br />

strength and activity of <strong>the</strong> villagers." I have not met with any support of<br />

this statement <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> numerous <strong><strong>in</strong>scriptions</strong> that have come under notice. On<br />

<strong>the</strong> contrary, it is called <strong>the</strong> Belur k<strong>in</strong>gdom (see Bl. 128, Mj.35). Moreover<br />

<strong>in</strong> a work called Kavi-kanthahdra (a metrical vocabulary of rare Kannada words)<br />

by Suryanka, a m<strong>in</strong>ister of Venkatadri-Nayaka, he makes no mention of such<br />

a name. He says that <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hoysala country, which was a hand-mirror (or<br />

reflection) of Kasmir, was situated <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>gdom of Veli<strong>in</strong>agari, that is Belur.<br />

This name I have accord<strong>in</strong>gly adopted. One or two short-lived l<strong>in</strong>es of chiefs<br />

ruled at first. But <strong>the</strong>re are no less than about 70 <strong><strong>in</strong>scriptions</strong> relat<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

<strong>the</strong> latest Belur family of chiefs <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> present volume, which enable us to<br />

make up a fairly correct list of <strong>the</strong> succession, though very great difficulty is<br />

occasioned by <strong>the</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>ual repetition of <strong>the</strong> same names <strong>in</strong> successive<br />

generations. HN. 6 gives <strong>the</strong> first steps, while HN. 1 and 4, Bl. 12 and 212,<br />

Ag. 22 and some o<strong>the</strong>rs help us on. The follow<strong>in</strong>g is as near as 1 have<br />

succeeded <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> names and dates. Era-Krishnappa-Nayaka is<br />

represented <strong>in</strong> most of <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>scriptions</strong> as <strong>the</strong> head of <strong>the</strong> family, who was<br />

enfeoffed by Krishna-Raya of Vijayanagar. He was <strong>the</strong> Hadapada, or bearer<br />

of <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>g's betel-bag.<br />
