D. C. Sircar.---Two inscriptions from Guntur Disi, (E. I. XXXII, Part II. Pp. 84-86 for 1957). Delhi, 1959.
Velpūru Inscription of Aira Mā(na) sada : The king claimed to have belonged to the AIRA family. The rule of the Aira (Arya) family over the Guntur District and the adjoining area in the second A. D. is known for the first time. It is difficult to determine the exact relation of the Aira king mentioned above with the family of the Chedi-Mahämeghavāhana king Khāravela of Kalinga. It is not impossible that Aira rule was established in the Krishna-Guntur region as a result of one of Khāravela's expedition in those areas, about the end of the first century B. C.
