Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume 4 (1896-97)Vināyakapura or “Kōṭa-Vināyakapura” is another name for Saṅkalāpura—a village 1½ miles east of Hosapēṭe (Hospet) and not far from the ruins of Vijayanagara in the Bellary district. [...] The inscription records that Kṛṣṇarāya of Vijayanagara (A.D. 1510-1529) granted the village of Saṅkalāpura, where the slab still exists, to a temple of Gaṇapati, which was called Kōṭa-Vināyaka, i.e. ‘ the Vināyaka in the Fort, and which was situated “on the eastern side of the Dēvēri road in Vijayanagarī”. In honour of the temple, Saṅkalāpura received the surname Kōṭa-Vināyakapura (also: Vighneśapura).
