The earliest reference to Venkata as ‘ruling from Chandragiri’ is dated 1602 ⁴; but Fr. N. Pimenta, in the account of his tour through the South of India, made in 1597, says in speaking of Venkata that ‘Hee now resideth in Chandragiri’ ⁵; and Fr. Du Jarric, in the course of his account of the arrival of the Jesuits in 1601, says that ‘Chandegiri is the residence of the King’ ⁶; the same fact is recorded in two inscriptions of 1603 ⁷, one of 1625 ⁸ and another of 1608 ⁹.
