Mangiraju and Upendradeva, father and son, ruled together for the first few years—from A.D. 1263 to 1266, and afterwards, Upendra ruled singly for Mangiraju was not heard of after A.D. 1266. The earliest record from Draksharamadated A D. 1263, mentions Aytasani, the queen of Raparti Upendra deva granting Visvariathapatnam to the deity. Upendra’s parents—Raparti Mangaraju and Lakshmi devi are mentioned. In A.D. 1266, Lakshmidevi, queen of Raparti Mangiraju, at Simhachalam, granted Manapamu in Naharupakanandumgattu for the merit of their son Upendraraja.
Though not mentioned in records, Mangi and Upendra, no doubt owed allegiance to the Ganga emperors. Upendra’s rule lasted till A D. 1289, the earliest date for his son Mangiraja II.
