Dēvarāya I, 1413 A.D.

This is dated Nandana, Māgha śu. 1, Monday. It refers to Dēvarāya, the Vijayanagara ruler, who may be identified with Dēvarāya I, as the cyclic year Nandaṇa falls only during his reign (1406-22 A.D.). Hence the details of the date may be equated to 1413 A.D., January 3. However the week-day was Tuesday.

It records a gift of wet land (vari-maḍi) of 30 tūmus (muppandumu) in lieu of 300 Siṅgāyamāḍalu at the rate of 100 per puṭṭi (which is obviously equal to 10 tūmus) by Mallānāyaniṅgāru, son of Raṅgānāyaniṅgāru to Aubaḷaya and others of the village Peṇḍlimaṟi for maintaining the tank bund of the Peda-cheṟuvu situated to the west of the village. The inscription also specifies the apportionment of the land which is granted as daśavanda among the donees. Further, the gift land is exempted from the taxes such as nāna-brālu. The gift village is stated to have been received by the donor as nāyaṅkara.

It states that Peda-Mallamarāju, son of Aṁdugala Parvatarāju on the orders of mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Naṁdēla Nāreparāju, son of Timmayadēvamahārāju exempted the village Koppōlu and Tippalūru from paying the taxes viz. grāma-kaṭnam, sunka-sthavarālu and aḍukkoḷḷu as these two villages were exempted from paying these taxes earlier by Kṛishṇadēvarāya by issuing a copper-plate charter. It is stated that subsequent to the reigns of Kṛishnadēvarāya the taxes (maḷḷu i.e., māḍala) on these two villages were collected by the government as they were not aware of the privileges granted to these villages. This grant is made to the vidvanmahājanas of the village Kōppōlu agrahāra alias Kṛishṇarāyapura on the occasion of the lunar eclipse.

Vijayanagara: Sadāśiva 1546 A.D.

This is dated Śaka 1474, Parābhava, Jyēshṭha ba. 12. However, the cyclic year Paridhāvi.

Damaged. It seems to register the gift of the royal income of certain villages in the Ghaṇḍikōṭa-sīma to a god (name lost) made into the hands of the reḍḍis of Ambavaram. It also mentions Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Manuballi Raṁgayya-dēva Chōḍa Mahārāju and Kaśuvayya-Dēva-Chōḍa Mahārāya evidently subordinates of Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Rāmarāju China-Timmayadēva-Mahārāju.

Vijayanagara: Sadāśiva, 1549 A.D.

This is dated Śaka 1470, Kīlaka, Māgha śu. 7, corresponding to 1549 A.D., January 6, Sunday.

It records the grant of Sarvamānya right on the karaṇika-mānya lands vṛitti-mānya lands and wet-lands (vari-meḷḷu) by mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Chinna Timmayyadēvamahārāja, son of Timmarāja, grandson of Rāmarāja and great grandson of Āravīṭi Bukkarāja, to Murāri, the Karaṇam of Aṁbavaram, on the holy occasion of rathasaptami. Aṁbavaram is mentioned as hōra-grāma and as situated in the Ghaṇḍikōṭa-sīma.

A post-script, which is in verse, states that a brāhmaṇa though he takes up the job of writing letters etc., does not lose his caste as some of the brāhmaṇas follow vaidika-mārga and some are niyōgis.

Vijayanagara: Sadāśiva, 1550 A.D.

This is dated Śaka 1472, Sādhāraṇa, Karttika śu. 15, Lunar eclipse corresponding to 1550 A.D., October 25, Saturday.

It records the gift of the annual income from the village Koppōlu by some vipravinōdins (names given) of Kāśyapa-gōtra and Atharvaṇa-śākha to the mahājanas of the village for maintaining the lamp offerings to the deity Siddhēśvara for the merit of their ⟨Page 46⟩ community. It is interesting to note that Yakshiṇi is stated to be the tutelary deity (kuladēvata) of the Vipravinōdins.

The gift is stated to have been made on the occasion of a lunar eclipse when the Vipravinōdins visited Koppōlu. In the context it may be noted that a lunar eclipse occurred immediately prior to the date of this record in the cyclic year Saumya, Āśvayuja śu. 15 (1549 A.D., October 6, Sunday) while the next lunar eclipse occurred only in Sādhāraṇa, Phālguṇa śu. 15 (1551 A.D., February 20, Friday). Therefore the former would have been the intended lunar eclipse.

Slab (broken) set up below the slope in front of the Narasimha temple on the hill.

This undated record may be assigned to the 16th century on the basis of palaeography.

Damaged and fragmentary. It seems to refer to the consecration of some deity and construction of a temple to the same, probably by a certain chief (name lost) holding the nāyaṅkara of the village Peṇḍlimaṟṟi. It also appears to register a grant of land obviously to the same deity and also to a certain Anaṁtōju who seems to have constructed the temple.
