[...] From the south the HEMAVATI (tributary the Yagachi) the Lokapavani Shimsha and ARKAVATI flow into the Cauvery which rises in Coorg and takes a south-easterly course through the State receiving also from the south the LAKSHMANTIRTHA the KABBANI or Kapila (tributaries the Nugu and Gundal) and the HONNUIIOLE or Suvarnavati. [...] The distribution closely follows that of the forest belts the heaviest rain coinciding with the evergreen belt the next with the deciduous forest and the least rainy tracts with the dry belt. [...] The conquest of the whole of the South followed and he became the founder of the Narasinga dynasty. [...] Among these were the Naiks of Keladi or Bednur Basavapatna and Chitaldroog in the north ; the Naiks of Belur in the west ; the Naiks of Hagalvddi and the Gaudas of Yelahanka and Ballapur in the centre ; the Gauda of Sugatur in the east ; the Changalvas and the Wodeyars of Mysore Kalale Ummattur and others in the south.
