Part 10 - The Yadvas of Panugal (13th century A.D.)

This dynasty of the Yadavas rose into prominence as that of Addanki had declined. The relationship between the Panugal and Addanki Yadavas is not known. The Yadavas of Panugal were feudatories of the Kakatiyas and acquired some important military victories. The rulers were of enterprising nature and led expedilions of conquest. Their prasasti is entirely different from that of the Yadavas of Addanki. The dynasty declined with the fall of the Kakatiyas after Prataparudra.

Origin

Unlike in the case of the Yadavas of Addanki, the origin is described elaborately in records. These Yadavas were of Vishnuvamsa, Yadavakula and lords of Dvaravatipura. Their descent is thus—the great dynasty of the Yadavas was prosperous, valiant and munificent. The Yadavas were looked upon as Kshatriyas and honoured like them. In this dynasty arose king Bhillamadeva, an Indra in wealth and prosperity. His son was king Singhanadeva who was famous and prosperous. His son by Tanudasamadevi was Samrnapanideva i.e, Sarngapanideva. This genealogy corresponds with that of the later Yadavas or Yadavas, in some respects and shows Samrnapani’s direct descent from them. For Bhillama is identical with Bhillama of the Devagiri, Yadavas who ruled from A.D. 1187 to 1191. Jaituga of our record is Jaitrapala or Jaitugi of the Yadavas of Devagiri (AD. 1191-1210). Singhamadeva is Singhana (AD. 1210-1247). In the time of Singhama, the Yadava empire became “as extensive as that ruled over by the ablest monarchs of the proceeding dynaties” Singhana bore imperialistic titles—Prithvivallabha and king of kings. Generally the Yadavas had the epithets—Vishnuvamsodhbhava and Dvaravatipuravaradhisvara, “the supreme lord of Dvaravati, the best of cities.” According to theft: genealogy Singhana’s son Jaitrapala or Jaitagi predeceased him and his sons Krishna Kandhara and Mahadeva ruled after Singhana from A.D. 1247 to 1260, and 1260 to 1271 respectively. According to our record. Singhana had a son Samrnapani Probably Samrnapani was younger to Jaitunga, left Devagiri for Panugal, carvied out a kingdom for himself there and ruled as a subordinate of the Kakatiyas.
