Part 3 - Teluguraya (A.D. 1438)

Teluguraya, the eldest son of Samburaya was also known as Govinda. His younger brother was Pedaraya Kshmapala whose daughter Tippalidevi granted Tipplidevipalle to Brahmins for the merit of her husband Singa, son Titnma Kshmapala and the two families of her parents. None of Teluguraya’s records are available.

Teluguraya’s, bore the epithets—misaraganda, Mathari Saluva and Dharanivaraha. Important kingdoms in the period were Vijayanagar, Orissa and Gulburga. The Reddi kingdom of Rajahmundry was not powerful and the Velamas of Rachakonda and Devarakonda were subordinate to the Kings of Vijayanagar. King Singa, the husband of Tippalidevi was of Solar race. Kasyapagotra and entitled Jagapati. Their son was king Timma. This family is not heard of any other records Jagatapi is Gutti i e. Modern Gooty (Anantapur district) which was probably the headquarters of this family. The suggestion that probably Jagatapsinga is Jagadobbasinga is wrong for the latter is a title and the former Singa of Gutti his capital.

No sons of Teluguraya are heard of. So Perhaps the rule of the Saluvas of Podile ended with him. The condition of the Telugu country in this period was that it was partly under the Gajapatis and partly under the kings of Vijayanagar.
