India history and geography
Source: Wikipedia: India HistoryGāvuṇḍa (गावुण्ड, “landlord”).—The Hoysala administration supported itself through revenues from an agrarian economy. The kings gave grants of land as rewards for service to beneficiaries who then became landlords to tenants producing agricultural goods and forest products. Two types of landlords (gavunda) existed; gavunda of people (praja-gavunda) lower in status than the wealthy lord of gavundas (prabhu-gavunda). The highlands (malnad regions) with its temperate climate proved suitable for raising cattle and the planting of orchards and spices.

They were heads of districts. A gāvuṇḍa was a village headman. One record mentions more than one gāvuṇḍa. They may have either represented different villages grouped together, or officiated as headman of the village by rotation.
