INTRODUCTION
to Kāmirāya-arasa and Dēvaṇṇa-Koṭhari as a compensation for the above
act. The record is an order to the residents of that village asking them to
pay thereafter the taxes to these two persons.
There is an interesting record from Sujēru describing the migration
of the people as well as rights and privileges enjoyed by the different
sections (No. 413). It is dated in Śaka 1450 (1528 A.D.) and registers an
agreement entered into between Tuḷuvarasa alias Chauṭa of Puttige and the
Aḷi-sāyira and Baḷi-sāyira on one side, and Vīra Narasiṁha, Baṅga and his
five thousand followers on the other, according to which, the movement
of the Chauṭa from east to west was not to be prevented by the Baṅga
and, in the same way, the Chauṭa himself could not prevent the movement
of the Baṅga from the north to south. It was further agreed upon that no
battle was to be fought at Ammeṁbaḷa. Thus this record clearly defines
the rights and privileges of the parties concerned. It also states that the
agreement was arrived at through the mediation of Vēdānta-voḍeya, the
disciple of Kṛishṇānanda-voḍeya and in the presence of Tirumalarasa alias Kaṁnika-heggaḍe. The imprecatory portion throws light on the practices
observed during the period to which the record belongs. Any violation to
Sōmanāthadēva of Puttige-Baṅgavāḍi.
