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 2 - Aggaparaju (A.D. 1023)

Nothing is known about the predecessors of Aggraparaju. Aggapa’s long prasasti begins with svasti sakalajagatrayabhivandita etc. He claims ancestry to Mahabali and lordship over Parivipura and Nandagiri. In professor Sastri’s words “Parivi and Nandagiri occupy in late Bana records, a position similar to that of Uraiyur and the Kaveri in the Telugu chola records”

The rulers contemporaneous with Aggapa were Rajaraja I (A.D. 985-1014) and Rajendra I (A.D 1012-1044) of the Cholas, Sakkivarman (999 1011 A.D.), Vimaladitya (A.D. 1011-1223) and Rajaraja of the Chalukyas of Vengi. As this was the period of the rise of raanya petty kingdom in Vengi owing allegiance to the Chalukyas, Aggapa too, must have ruled as a feudatory of Vimaiayaditya. None of Aggaparaju’s successors are heard of.
