The brothers were breathing fire, <br />With their hearts full of desire <br />They built the greatest Hindu empire, <br />Which, the whole world would admire. <br /> <br />Kingdom of peace and heaven, the plan <br />Put forth by a learned man <br />Carried out by brothers of the Kuruba clan, <br />Empire, was built within a short span <br /> <br />People as brave as they were <br />Fought their enemies without fear <br />Till peace was brought to Vijayanagar <br />The ‘City of Victory’, as they called her. <br /> <br />Her enemies were torn apart, <br />Peninsular India in its chart <br />She lived in peoples heart, <br />The golden age was about to start. <br /> <br />The city was full of diamonds and gold <br />In the bazaars and streets they were sold, <br />Might of the empire began to unfold <br />Nobody could keep it on hold <br /> <br />The legend spread far and wide <br />Like a mighty colossal tide. <br />Now, long gone is the empire of pride <br />Changing history, for us to abide. <br /> <br />Copyright V.G.Aarella<br /><br />Vikram G.
