The
Hoysala Karnatakas are well
known sub-set of Smarta brahmins,
which has produced many eminent
scholars, musicians, philosophers,
generals and religious pontiffs,
over tyhe centuries. Of the
two parts of the name of this
sub-sect viz., HOYSALA &
KARNATAKA, the second part i.e.,
Karnataka is easily explained,
as the mother tounge of this
community is and has been Kannada
and as they have been the inhabitants
of the karnatak region.
But
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE FIRST PART OF THE NAME viz.,
HOYSALA???
