EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
CHEVURU PLATES OF EASTERN CHALUKYA AMMA I
As to the localities mentioned in the record, the Gudravāravishaya figures in a number
of inscriptions. In certain cases its name is spelt differently. It has been identified with Gūḍūru,
near Masulipatam,[1] as well as with Guḍivāḍa, the headquarters of the tālūk of that name in the
Kistna District.[2] The latter identification is more probable. The donated village of Umikilī
and the boundary village of Dūdrupāka are evidently identical with Unikili and Rudrapāka ;
both of which are included in the Kaikalūr tālūk of the Kistna District. The Kaikalūr tālūk
map shows Rudrapāka to be situated, as the inscription has it, to the south of Unikili. The
distance between the two is about a mile and a half.
I am indebted to Mr. N. Laksminarayan Rao for the explanation of the Telugu portion as
well as for some useful suggestions in connection with this essay.

_________________________________
[1]G. Jouveau-Dubreuil, Ancient History of the Deccan, p. 87 ; above, Vol. VI. p. 316 ; Vol.XXIII, p. 89, n. 6 ;
p. 92, n. 3 ; J. A. H. R. S., Vol. V. p. 25 ; etc., where different spellings of the name will be seen.
[2] Above, Vol. IV, p. 34. It may be pointed out that formerly Kaikalūr was not a separate tālūk, but was a
part of the Guḍivāḍa tālūk. Thus Chēvūru and the other villages now included in the Kaikalūrtālūk were formerly
in the Guḍivāḍa tālūk.
[3] From the original plates and inked estampages.
[4] The dot seen over the syllable sē is superfluous. It does not stand for an anusvāra which in this inscription
usually appears to the right of the letter concerned, as may be compared in l. 1 where it occurs thrice.
[ 5] The superfluous dot between va and rā in the word varāha is due to a flaw in the plate.
[6] A short downward stroke is seen attached to the middle of the letter lu on its right side, which is unnecessary.
The proper form of this letter may be seen below in l. 8.
[7] See below p. 47, n. 1.
[8] Here sandhi has not been observed.
[9] A superfluous mark like that of an ordinary anusvāra is seen over this sa.
[10] This ta is redundant ; read kṛita-dakshiṇa.
[11] This sa is redundant ; read s=sarvva-. Or we may even justify the presence of the additional sa by reading
ºs=sa sarvva- treating that sa as a demonstrative pronoun, meaning here ‘that well-known’.
