² Dēvari Nāyaḍu, son of Māchaya Nāyanithgāru, is spoken of as *Kākatarājya-sthāpan-āchārya* in his inscriptions dated Ś. 1235 (A.D. 1313) and Ś. 1239 (A.D. 1317) (SII, x, 505; *AR*, 79 of 1938-9). Similarly, Kāchaya Reḍḍi ‘who vanquished the Muslim ruler who had penetrated into the Telugu country after conquering Gauḍa, Gūrjara, Mālava, Mahārāṣṭra and other countries’ is styled *Mahārāya-sthāpan-āchārya* in an undated inscription at Śrīsailam in the Kurnool district (*AR*, 54 of 1942-3). These two officers may have acquired their titles by the services which they rendered to the state after the incursion of the Muhammadans into the Telugu country, and had in all probability no connexion with Rudrāmbā’s installation on the throne.
