From Sir Thomas Munro's papers I gather that the territory about the old family estate of Ânegundi was early in the eighteenth century held by the Râyas from the Mogul emperor of Delhi as a tributary state. In 1749 it was seized by the Mahrattas, and in 1775 it was reduced by Haidar Alî of Mysore, but continued to exist as a tributary quasi-independent state till the time of Tipu (Tippoo Sultan).
