No. 42] TELUGU CHOLA RECORDS FROM ANANTAPUR AND CUDDAPAH not known if he succeeded to the throne, as the only inscription left by him, viz., the Malopädu stone inscription, although describing him as ruling Rönādu 7,000 and Siddhi 1,000, does not give him kingly titles nor even the honorific ending to his name.
Of the places mentioned in the inscription, Vendararibuļu (ll. 17-18) may be taken to be the old name of Veludurti, the find place of the inscription. Kachiru (I. 27) to which Erama, the composer belonged cannot be identified. Eya(ra)kallu may be identical with Erigal, the identification of which has been discussed already.
