EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

District of the Andhra State. Tōṭavāṭaka appears to be the ancient name of Tōṭāḍa or Tōdavāḍa, a village at the distance of about eight miles from Andhavaram, the findspot of the inscription under review, while Andōrakāgrahāra is the early name of Andhavaram itself. It is called Āndōreppa in the record of the Māṭhara king Anantaśaktivarman[1].
