Yelamanchili (Yellamanchili) corresponds to historical central Kaliṅga, as mentioned in the “Pedda-Dugam plates of Śatrudamana” (5th century A. D.). The Vāsiṣṭhas of Devarāṣṭra in Central Kaliṅga, i.e. the modern Yellamanchili area of the Visakhapatnam District, appear to have extended their power over the Piṣṭapura region and extirpated the Māṭharas sometime about the beginning of the sixth century A.D. King Śatrudamana of our inscription appears to have ruled earlier than all the rulers mentioned above as having issued their charters from Siṃhapura.
