THE KAKATIYAS
occasions of 3 villages renamed Tammavaram, Vīravaram and Uṇḍīśvarapuram
by the chief after the names of his father, mother and himself, to several learned
Brahmans. The purpose of the present record is to register the gift, made now,
of the village Gōdaparru surnaming it as Uṇḍīśapuram after his own name to a
number of learned Brahmans. The other villages granted by him were in the
Pāvunāra-vishaya and Vēṅgidēśa, which indicate the extent of his principality.
The donor Uṇḍīśvara is said to have held away over many towns in the Guṇṭūri-Vṛitti-dēśa and had his residence at Sūravaram which may perhaps be identical
with the village of the same name in the present Bhadrachalam taluk of the
East Godavari distrcit. He bore the birudas Rājavēśyā-bhujaṁga, Paramēśara,
Dānadīkshāguru, Naḍa-gōṭamala and Nandimēru. It must be noted that the
seal of the grant bears the figures of a couchant bull.
