5. Kumaragiri Vema Reddi-(son of 4) 1382-1395
A.C. Presented Rajamundry to his sister's
husband Allada-Bhupati of Panţa-kulam.
6. Allada-Bhupati-(Brother-in-law of 5) Ruled
over Rajamundry up to Simhadri till 1415A.C.
7. Vémá Reddi and Virabhadra Reddi-(sons of 6)
-Ruled jointly over Rajamundry.
Reddi extended the kingdom up to the Chilka
Vemâ
Lake; and was the Patron of Srinatha (Telugu
Poet). His inscription at Bhimavaram is
dated 1434 A.C.
From this it is clear that Madhava Nayak or Mado
Nayak of Venkatagiri, (who killed Annapota Reddi in a
battle) lived about 1369 A.C., and that his father Singa-
prabhu must therefore have been a contemporary of
Sri Vedantacharya.
Tradition makes him
which may be a mistake
for
. It is however uncertain whether the title Sarrajna
is applicable to this Prince. In fact, one of the Mss. of Ratnapetika
used by me, makes no mention of this title. Though we find no
reference to this title even in the Singabhupaliya (Rasarnavasudha-
kara), still we know, from the various references in contemporary
Telugu works, that the author was invariably known by that title.
That it has been continued to the Rajas of Venkatagiri even to the
present day, is evident from the title-page of Rasarnavasudhakara
(Telugu Edition) published in Venkatagiri, 1895.
