Part 11 - Bhimaraja and Uttam Bhimaraja (A.D. 1268-1283)
Bhima and Uttam Bhima signalled their joint rule by issuing combined grants. The earliest inscription is from Potturu dated A.D. 1268 Another record there dated A.D. 1272 mentions Mahamandalesvara Bhimaraja. Mahamandalesvara Ranarangabhairava Parichcheda Vedamani (?) Kota devaraja figures in a record dated A.D. 1270 from Tripuran-takam. This Devaraja is probably identical with Devaraja, the younger brother of Bhima and Uttambhima. So Devaraja belongs to the Parichchedi line and not to the Kota line as has been supposed by some writers.
No political events of the reign have come down to us. The joint rule was probably intended to strengthen the kingdom against the Kakatiyas. Parichcheda Devaraja was ruling about Tripurantakam. None of the Parichchedis in this period acknowledged the Kakatiya sway.
