Source: Shodhganga: Kakati Ganapatideva and his timesCoḍa is one of the ancient dynasties from India (Āndhradeśa or Andhra Pradesh), conquered and subjugated by Gaṇapatideva (r. 1199-1262 A.D.) who let them rule their territory as an independent māṇḍalika.—Among the Telugu Coḍas who ruled over Āndhradeśa during medieval times, the chiefs of Koṇidena, Pottapi and Nellore deserve mention.
The Koṇidena Coḍas were a branch of the Renāḍu Coḍas. They were mentioned in the epigraphs of 10th century in the Koṇidena region. The earliest members of this line were Kannāra Coḍa and Kāma Coḍa and ruled Kamma-nāḍu, Guṇḍikurti and Motaṭi regions, as the subordinates of the Velenāṭi Coḍas.
The Coḍas of Nellore were prominent among the Telugu Coḍas and were generally subordinates of the Imperial Colas. They played a prominent role in the politics of the Colas, the Pāṇḍyas and the Hoyasalas and tried to gain dominance over the Tamil country during the 13th century.
The Telugu Coḍas of Pottapi.—Another branch of Telugu Coḍas ruled Renāḍu for two centuries from Pottapi in Guddapah district. They were first feudatories of the Imperial Colas and the Western Cālukyas and were later conquered by the Kākatīyas

The Coḷas are mentioned in the Vārtikas of Kātyāyana as well as in the Epics. Coḷa or Coḍa is Tamil Sora and is probably identical with Sora (cf. Sora Regia Arcati) of Ptolemy.

Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
