दक्षिणापथ के अन्तर्गत द्वारसमुद्र के चन्द्रवंशीय यदुवंशी होयसल क्षत्रिय राजवंश का ऐतिहासिक अध्ययन--- मैसूर में बारहवीं शताब्दी में होयसल वंश का प्रादुर्भाव हुआ।होयसल अपने को चन्द्रवँशी यदुवंशी क्षत्रिय कह कर संबोधित करते है।यह वंश कर्नाटक के इतिहास में सबसे अधिक प्रसिद्ध राज वंश है।इस वंश के अधिकांश शासक जैन धर्म के अनुयायी थे जिनमें कुछ बाद में वैष्णव वन गये थे ।इस होयसल राजवंश की स्थापना में जैनाचार्य सुद्दुत वर्धमान ने सक्रिय सहायता की थी ।इस वंश की स्थापना के वे ही मूल प्रेरक थे। देवगिरि के राजवंश के समान द्वारसमुद्र का होयसल वंश भी यादवकुल का था।इस लिए इस वंश के राजाओं ने उत्कीर्ण लेखों में अपने को"यादवकुलतिलक "कहा है। तुंगभद्रा नदी का वाया किनारा भी बहुत प्रसिद्ध  था।विजयनगर के पूर्वगामी यदुवंशी क्षत्रिय होयसल नरेशों का प्रधान स्थान यही था।यह भाग उत्तरी भारत से अधिक दुर्गम है क्यों कि पठार दो हजार फीट के लगभग ऊंचा है। होयसलों के राज्य का क्षेत्र वर्तमान मैसूर प्रदेश में था , और उनकी राजधानी द्वारसमुद्र थी।शुरू में उनकी स्थिति सामन्त राजाओं की थी , जो कभी दक्षिण के च
