Virappa Nāyaka, son of Muḷuvāgil Sāḷuva Keñchaṇṇa Nāyaka and others (named), having agreed together, in A. D. 1530, gave the two villages Voḍḍarahaḷḷi and another village, the name of which is effaced in the record, of Naṇḍagulli-sthaḷa, to Sōmanātha Dīkshita, son of Chaturvēdimaṅgaḷa Bhaṭṭa, for some purpose not stated in the grant.⁶ Another inscription also of the same date (Śaka 1452 = A. D. 1530-1) tells us that the residents of Vallā-nāḍu in Rājarāja-vaḷa-nāḍu, gave certain lands to Sokkanār Pallavarāyar of Paḍaiparru, as a *kāṇiyāṭchi*.⁷ Four persons (named) granted the Virūpākshapura, otherwise called Nandicheruvu, in the Penugoṇḍa kingdom, to Achyutarāya Mallappaṇa in A.
