Source: Epigraphia Indica Vol. 36: Tenali plates of eastern Chālukya Vijayāditya I grantThe Reḍḍis were the undisputed Telugu rulers of the country and their rule forms a glorious chapter in the history of the Andhra country. That the country had its golden age under these Reḍḍi rulers is clearly borne out from a number of their records and from the literary works of the great Telugu poets such as Śrīnātha and Eṟṟāpregaḍa who were patronised by these rulers. Addaṅki was the captial town of the Reḍḍi rulers according to the verses of the Annavarappāḍu plates of Kāṭaya Vema Reḍḍi.

The Lingayats and their sub-divisions (e.g., the Reddis) reverence the Vedas, but disregard the later commentaries on which the Brahmans rely. Their faith purports to be the primitive Hindu faith, cleared of all priestly mysticism. The word Lingayat is the anglicised form of Lingavant, which is the vernacular term commonly used for any member of the community.
