REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
This present study is a serious attempt to study about Sri Vidyaranya work in Hampi of Vijayanagar during the regime of Sri Vidyaranya and the impact on Indian political situation in the current situation. Vijayanagar Empire stood as a build work for 310 years (Between 1336 to 1646 CE) against the Islamic inversion of its foundation was save south India from the congruent of Islamic rules to serve Hindu Religion, Culture and learning and help them to nourish are order to Dr. Krishnaswamy Aiyar, and Indian historian and academician. Sri Vidyaranya (1380-1386 periods in office) Vidyaranya also known as Madhya charya or Madhya Vidyaranya is variously known as royal priest, patron saint, king maker and mentor of Hari Hara and bukkaraya the founders of Vijayanagar Empire (M. K., 2009). He was the 12th jagadguru of the sringeri sarada pitam from 1380-1386. He was born to madhava charya and Srimathi Devi in pampaksetra (modern day Hampi) in 1268 CE. Vidyaranya helped the brothers to establish The Empire sometimes in 1336. He later served as a mentor and royal priest to guide the three generations of kings who ruled Vijayanagar (Hampi) The capital of the empire. Sri Vidyaranya has contributed a lot many things to the Indian political philosophy (Arora and Awasthy, 2007). which has brought a revolutionary change in the modern India political system through his powerful writing on sarvadrasangraha a compendium
philosophy in ancient India, in the very friest chaplir. The carvaka system hercritiches the arguments of locayatikes, while doing so he quotes extensively from carvaka works. The principal of materialist that is locayata is the highly suitable for the present system of world political philosophy (Satyanarayana, 2010) the materialist approach is also called as exteriance approach of political philosophy material Islamic approach at can be measured in terms of quantity where as Islamic approach or numerterialistic can not measure in terms at quantity (Vide, 2013).

WORKS OF VIDYARANYA:
Sruti and smriti are the two integral positions of our tradition and anti quity poetic Sruti is supposed to be Veda as it us heard from mouth to mouth and passed on to the next generation through oral transmission Manu in his smriti, second chapter, strange ten justifies he same statements srutistu Veda vegneyah Dharma Sastram to via smrith and hence we can infer that smriti is taken as a synonym of Dharmasastra in our hoary anti Quantity.

Collection of Taxes: Madhava beautifully describes how the kings used to collect the people jest as gardener plucks out flowers from the plant without injuring the plant so the king should collect taxes without pinching the subjects (Gandhi, 1975). A Vaishya was supposed to do profitable business involving the precious metals and to protect the cattle. Next we have a detailed depiction of the shodashakarmas like namakarana, annaprashana, choodakarna, upanayana, vivaha, Vanaprasta, sanyana and so on (Kamath, 2007). In the prayascittakanda we have detailed exposition of the various prayascitta to be undergone for not performing.
