This book recounts the History of the Andhra Pradesh Country from 1000 to 1500 A.D. including many dynasties (for example. the Reddis of Korukonda and the Eruva Chola of Rajahmundry)....

Part 52 - Singa (A.D. 1378-1381)

No predecessors of Singa are known. His earliest recordis from Simhachalam dated 1318 A.D.—mentioning that king Virasinga was born in Somanvaya and Atraya Gotra and that queen Ambika made gifts for the increase of the prosperity of her husband’s kingdom. The Telugu portion mentions the king as Kondakammati Virasmgaraju. Evidently Kondakamati is the tract of the country over which Singa ruled. His next inscription, dated A.D. 1381, also at Simhachalam records gifts by Ambikadevi, queen of king Narasimha. Singa is also mentioned as Kondakamati Pratapa Chragaraju. He must have owned allegiance to the Eastern Ganga Emperors.

No successors of Pratapasinga are heard of.
