Pampa-kshetra with the old Virupaksha temple and the Hemakuta hill shrines of the Chalukya age stands on the south bank of the Tungabhadra in rocky country.
The city of Vijayanagara is founded in 1336 and does not exist; in 1200 this is a river shrine with a priests' village, on the line between the Hoysala and Yadava claims.

How things stand that morning
A river shrine; no garrison known.
Where the sources disagree
- Sindas carries a Hoysala inscription of about 1199 at Hampi (Wikipedia, Hampi: temples to Durga, Hampadevi and Shiva, and the Manmatha tank enlarged with a Durga shrine in 1199). That is Hoysala patronage on the south bank a year before the game; one such record does not show who governs the place. The map keeps Hampi contested (the line between the Hoysala and Yadava claims).
Evidence: From memory and the OMNIA board's lead; no source read this session gives the position on 1 January 1200 for this place.
