 nayadu, and Rudra nayadu. Two were much distinguished ; Dama' 

 nayadu the eldest, by skill in the use of the sword, by great advantages 

 obtained over others, and the acquisition of wealth and honours. The 

 second Prasaditya was an officer of authority under Ganapati deva 

 rayalu ; and had a hand in the circumstances of the succession after 

 his death ; whereby the royal authority at Oraganli devolved on 

 Pratdpa Rudra.

 and ruled in distinct towns, each one over his portion ; the first in Raja
