referring to him. He had a son, but it is not known whether the latter inherited the principality.
From the foregoing facts and from the inscriptions noted by Mr. Sowell, it is evident that this dynasty exercised but an ephemeral sovereignty. Doddaya, the fourth son of Perumadi, first rose to some importance, probably as an officer of the Kondavidu Reddis. Then his third son, Anleda, improved that position and transmitted it to his adventurous sons, who established a principality with Rajamahendra as their capital. But neither Vêma's sons, if any, nor those of any of his brothers seem to have inherited their throne. The Gajapatis of Orissa or the kings of Vijayanagara must have driven the Reddis from Rajamahồndra. The encouragement which these Reddis gave to Telugu poets is one noteworthy fact of their short-lived government, which entitles them to the gratitude of posterity.
