Part 39 - Later and other Silavamsis

An undated inscription at Draksharama mentions Nandapurapu Mallikarjunanayudu An epigraph on a boulder in the tank at Dibbagudemvalas near Bobbili in characters of the 14th century A D, mentions Silavamsa and the tank of Silapanedu. This shows that the rule of the Silas extended upto Bobbili which is confirmed by references to Bobbilidesa in a Srikurmam record. The epigraphist says “The Silavamsa is not a well known historical family of these parts very likely that the Silavamsa of the present epigraph from Bobbili is none other than the Silavamsa of the Srikurmam inscription or vice versa and it is also probable that Bobbili was the heaquarters of this family in or about 15th century A.D.”
