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.Aarellabr br Vikram G.
