EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[Vou. V.
in the grant, the following admit of identification. One of the two villages which formed the southern boundary of Virachôdachaturvedimaigala, Ponnavads, may be identified with Ponnada which is found to the east of Pithapuram on the Madras Survey Map of the Pithapuram division. The western boundaries, Kollipròlu and Chembrôla, are found on the same map as Gollaprol and Chebrolu, on the high-road from Pithapuram to Kattipudi. Bendapundi, one of the northern boundaries, is Bendapudi, on the road to Vizagapatam. Two other villages between which the northern boundary passed, Singavikrams and Dontengi (1.250), are found on the map as Srungarrakham and Tondangi between Bendapudi and the sca. Among the boundaries of Navavada, a hamlet of Virachôdachaturvedimangala (1. 266), we find Bendapāņdi (the modern Bendapadi) and Duggavada. This village is identical with the modern Durgada, which is found on the map between Bendapadi and Chebrolu. Chembrôla, the modern, Chebrolu, belonged to the district of Bottepinandu (1209). The district of Prolunându, in which Malavelli and Ponnatorra were situated (11. 69 and 182 ), is already -known from two inscriptions in the Kuntimadhava templo at Pithapuram, and included also Navakhandavida (near Pithapuram) and Sarpavaram.'
