VIJAYANAGARA
1556, Bhava, where the king is stated to have been ‘ ruling from Penukoṇḍa-paṭṭaṇa’. At the request of his officer Bhaṇḍāram Veṅkatapati of the Hāritagōtra,
the king presented, along with
the hamlet Kāraṇai, the villages
Chittūru, renamed Prasanna-Veṅkatāpuram, after purchasing it from Ammāḷāchārya mentioned above, to a number of Vaishṇavas. In the copper-plate of
Veṅkata I noticed in the previous paragraph Chittūru is stated to have been
given to Ammāḷāchārya along with the hamlet Mūvēndrapattu. Chittūru
which had been presented then under the name Raghupatisamudram was now
again renamed as Prasanna-Veṅkatāpuram. This Chittūru is probably to be
identified with the village of the same name in the Śrīperumbūdūr taluk of the
Chingleput district.

Śriraṅgarāyaś 1(6-1)
74. A later Śrīraṅgarāya ruling from Penukoṇḍa in Śaka 1[622]
Bahudhānya is mentioned in a record from Vanikuṇta in the Guntur district
(No. 241). He may be identical with Śrīraṅga of about A.D. 1692 (Sewell. List of Antiquities, Volume II, page 253). This inscription mentions Veṅkatappa-
Nāyaniṅgāru, son of Rāyappa-Nāyaniṅgāru and the grandson of Peda-
Koṇḍama-Nāyaniṅgāru of Veligōti and
of the Rēcherla family; as holding the
Vinukoṇḍa-sīma as an amara-nāyaṅkara from the king. Rāyappa-Nāyaka
is not mentioned in the pedigree given by Sewell (List of Antiquities, Volume II,
page 240 ff), though an earlier member of this name figures therein (ibid,
page 241).
