of the reign and when Maharaja Ganapati was ruling the 

 kingdom, his eommander-in-chief Maharaja Grangaya Deva 

 holding supreme sway over Siddhavatam, 5 Pottupinadu, 6 and 

 other countries, lived then in a village called (Mavuje) 

 Mayadakuru, 7 which lies north of the Duvvuru 8 division of 

 the abovementioned sub-district. One Maharaja Jannigadeva, 

 his sister's son, was very powerful. "When Maharaja Grangaya 

 Deva was holding supreme sway over this country, he gave 

 the town of Mayadakuru, in which he resided, as an agra- 

 haram to Brahmans, dividing it into 68 srotriyam grants 

 during the holy feast Makara Sankranti, on the 11th day of 

 the bright fortnight in the month of Pusya, in the year 

 Siddarthi, corresponding to the Saka year 1181. In proof of 

 this there is a stone-tablet in a street in the middle of the 

 abovementioned village. As proof of the reign of the Maha- 

 raja Grangaya Deva there exists moreover a stone tablet in 

 the Siddhesvara temple of Jyoti 9 on the northern bank of the 

 Pinakini 10 on the north side to the village Jyoti in the above- 

 mentioned sub-district.
