Śasyabhūmi (शस्यभूमि) refers to “corn-land”, commonly found in Townships or Urban centers (nagari) in ancient India (Medieval Orissa).—An example (of Township) is provided by the Nagari plates of Anangabhima III, dated A.D. 1230, which describe an assigned township which contained four large houses of the dimension of royal residences and thirty other houses. The occupational groups present in the settlement were [...]. The range of occupations is large, some of them being rural in character. The context in which the township (or Urban centres—nagari) is assigned—the reference is to the grant of 20 vatis of cornland (śasyabhūmi) and 10 vatis of homestead land in Jayanagara-gramna—suggest that nagaris in such cases were perhaps extended villages, formed out of a cluster of several contiguous villages and thus assuming physical and consequently, economic dimensions much larger than those of an ordinary village settlement.
