Eraṇḍapallī (एरण्डपल्ली) or Eraṇḍapalla is a place-name classified as a palla or pallī and mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Eraṇḍapalla is mentioned in the list of countries of Southern region conquered by Samudragupta. Its ruler was Damana.

Eraṇḍapallī will have to be identified with the village Yendipalli in the Golgonda Taluka of the Vizagapatam district or with the village Eṇḍapalli in Elore Tāluka. But if we suppese that Svāmidatta was the king of Koṭṭūra alone and not of the whole of Kaliṅga, Eraṇḍapallī may well be identified with Chicacole.
