VIDYARANYA |
|
| They had been
ministers in the State of Kampili. Owing to bad days, they were in trouble and they sought
the advice of Vidyaranya. Vidyaranya ‘blessed them and, as a result of it, they were able to defeat the enemy. Then Vidyaranya told them: "Now that you are strong, you may raise a city in this region!" "As your Holiness orders", replied the brothers. As the three were looking for a suitable spot to build the capital city, they saw at one place a hare turning round and giving fight to two hounds that had been chasing it. Vidyaranya thought that was the best place. He at once made some calculation of the stars and decided on a scheme of measurements. From these data, he marked an area and asked the Harihara brothers to build the new city and call it Vijayanagara or the City of Success. |
