=Ashtagram=

('the eight townships'). — The country on both banks
of the Cauvery near Seringapatam, Mysore State, bestowed by the
Hoysala king Vishnuvardhana, early in the twelfth century, on the
Vaishnava reformer Ramanuja, by whom he had been converted from
the Jain faith. The reformer appointed Brahmans to administer the
tract, under the designation of Hebbars and Prabhus, settling them in
eight towns. The chiefs of Nagamangala, probably descended from
these, were put down at the end of the fifteenth century by the Vijaya-
nagar king Narasinga, who took possession of Seringapatam. Under
the Mysore kings the tract was formed into the Patna Ashtagram and
Maisur Ashtagram taluks, the former to the north of the river and the
latter to the south. In 1863 Mysore and Hassan Districts were con-
stituted the Ashtagram Division, which was abolished in 1880.
