Part 9 - Kadiyaraju (A.D. 1128)
Kadiyaraja of the Naga race ruled in a part of the Guntur district with capital at Dharmapura. His prasasti is imperialistic and long. His only record is from Bapatla dated A.D. 1128 and c.r. era 3, mentioning him as mahamandlesvara Kadiyaraja.
His Political Relations
Kadiyaraja claims to have been the best among Bhujanga-kula. One of his titles is sakalaripumadana. Kadiyaraja was evidently a subordinate of the chola emperors. Kulottunga I and Vikramachola. For he styles himself a bee at the lotus-feet of Srivishnuvardhana i.e. Kulottunga I. But by about A.D. 1128, Kadiyaraja acknowledged the Chalukya yoke under Vikramaditya IV and Somesvara III along with all other rulers in Vengi which is attested by his record dated in the year e.v. 3, obviously a mistake for the 53rd year corresponding to A.D. 1128.
A title of Kadiyaraya is Kadiyraybharana i.e. a jewell to Kadiyaraya. Here Kadiyaraya is either the family name or that of his father. Kadiyaraja claims to have destroyed Kiranapura as the title—Kranpuradalana suggests.
