"This is the best provided city in the world." Domingo Paes was overwhelmed by the city and stated: "The people in the city are countless in number, so much so that I do not wish to write it down for fear it should be thought fabulous. What I saw seemed as large as Rome and very beautiful to the sight; there are many groves of trees within it, many orchards and gardens of fruit trees and many conduits of water which flow in the midst of it, and in places there are lakes."
- Domingo Paes,  Portuguese Traveler in Vijayanagar
