¹ This was apparently the eldest son and successor of Pratāparudra who died according to Shamsi Siraj Afif on his way to Delhi whereto Muhammad sent him probably in A.D. 1328. (Elliott iii. 367). This is confirmed by a Telugu historical manuscript Pratāpacharitam, according to which his death took place at Mantenna on the Godavari. This Mantenna is otherwise called Mantrakūṭa and figures in the inscriptions of the Kākatīya Rudra I (vide Anamakonda Ins. *Indian Antiquary*, xi. 20.)
