Explanation:

·The amara-nayaka system was a major political innovation of the Vijayanagara Empire. It is likely that many features of this system were derived from the iqta system of the Delhi Sultanate.
·The amara-nayakas were military commanders who were given territories to govern by the raya.
·They retained part of the revenue for personal use and for maintaining a stipulated contingent of horses and elephants. These contingents provided the Vijayanagara kings with an effective fighting force with which they brought the entire southern peninsula under their control.
·The amara-nayakas sent tribute to the king annually and personally appeared in the royal court with gifts to express their loyalty.
