There are sure signs of the penetration of Buddhism in Āndhradeśa in the 2nd cent. B.C. Later on as the epigraphs tell us several active schools in Buddhism grew up which inspired the building of monumental Stūpas, e. g. (i) Chaityakas at Amarāvati; (ii) Pūrvaśailas at Nagarjunikonda, and Alluru; (iii) Avaraśailas at Nagarjunikonda, Peḍḍavegī, Kaṇṭakaśaila (Ghaṇṭaśāla); and also two more schools, namely, (iv) Rājagiriyas; and (v) Siddhāthikas.
