Places of note
- Nuggehalli: Hoysala village on the Channarayapatna road
Where the sources disagree
- Wikipedia's temple table dates the Lakshminarasimha temple of Nuggehalli to 1246 and the Sadashiva temple to 1249 under Vira Someshwara; the campaign board gives 1246 for 'the two temples' and a commander of a later king as builder. Both are later than 1 January 1200.
Evidence: The place is from the campaign board; the temple dates are from Wikipedia's table; its officers and size in 1200 are not in the pages we read.
