SOUTH INDIAN INSCRIPTIONS
VOLUME
XVI
TELUGU
INSCRIPTIONS OF THE VIJAYANAGARA DYNASTY
PREFACE
This
volume of Telugu Inscriptions in the South Indian Inscription (Texts) Series
edited by Sri H. K. Narasimhaswami, contains 335 epigraphs exclusively of the
Vijayanagara kings collected between the years 1904 and 1928 in different parts
of the former Madras Presidency. It
may be pointed out that Volume X of this series contains the records of all the
other dynasties with the exception of those pertaining to the dynasties of the
Vijayanagara, collected during the same period.
Some
salient features of the more important records in the collection are briefly
outlined in the introduction. It is hoped that this material will prove as rich a mine of
information to scholars interested in the social, political, economic, literary
and such other aspects of the period covered by these inscriptions, as to those
interested in the history of the dynasties themselves.
The
late Shri K. H. V. Sarma and Messrs. B. R. Gopal, V. S. Subrahmanyam and S. S.
Ramachandramurthy has assisted in the preparation of this volume.
