JAYA RAO OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF CENSUS OPERATIONS ANDHRA PRADESH PUBUSHED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH 1985 RAIL·CUM·ROAD BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER GODAVARI AT RAJAHMUNDRY The motif on the cover page represents the longest rail-cum-road bridge in Asia built across the river Godavari at Rajahmundry. Godavari is the most important river in Andhra Pradesh often referred to as 'Dakshina .. Ganga'. Taking its origin in the Western ::--~<. - .." -~~-~~ojL;~ Ghats near Nasik and after cutting across the r. ",.~:#. -;'~~~~'IIi!~~~~ Eastern Ghats through the magnificent Papi Hills gorge, Godavari emerges at Polavaram into the coastal plain. From hereon, the river widens and assumes majestic proponions of about 3 kms. at Rajahmundry and nearly 6 kms. at Do wleshwaram, before it flows into the Bay 01 Bengal near Kakinada on the East Coast. At Rajahmundry, the vital Madr~s-Howrah East-Coast line crosses the Godavari and a single line bridge constructed in 1900 A. D. at a cost of Rs. 48 lakhs. spans the river. The old bridge consists of 56 span~ of 45.7 metres (150 ft.) and a land span of 12 metres (40 ft.) totalling 2,771 metres (9,096 ft.) between the abutments. The Howrah-Madras line is one of the vital Railway trunk-routes in the country carrying principally coal, steel and surplus food grains from the rich agricultural lands of coastal Andhra Pradesh to the south.

  • II HISTORICAL DACKGROUND ANDHRA DESA, Like
    CllAl’TER - II HISTORICAL DACKGROUND ANDHRA DESA, like many uthor parts uf lindia, has been a continuus human inhabitation since prehist(jric limes, as attested by the lithic imple­ ments, artefacts, utensils and the personal belongings of the deceased\ persons found in the explorations and discovered in the later megalithic burials opened at the sites like Kurnool. Yolcswaram, Nagarjunakonda, Dharanikola, Peddabankur a n d Kondapur. Further, Andhras as a race have been found recorded, earliest in AITAREYA URAllMANA (AD-VII-8) datable to C.600 BC, followed in the works like CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD, APASTHAMBHA GRHYASUTItA, MAHABIIARATllA. HARIVAMSA PURANA, SUTTANIPATA. SERIVANIJA JATAKA AND THE LIKE. Megasthanese's INDICA refers to Andhra to be a territory comprising many villages, 30 fortified towns and an army consisting of 1,00,000 elephants. The 13lh Major Rock Edict of Ashoka refers to Andhra as the bordering land of the empire. However, excluding the literary eviden­ ces, in the absence of any historical data, a fair account of Andhras begins / with the emergence of Satavahanas as a distinct political dynasty, having ruled for about two and half centuries. A brief account of the important political dynasties referred to in the inscriptions under study, to the extent needed for the present work, is as follows: Controversies over the chrono- j logy and the genaeology of the dynasties and the rulers have been left undiscussed. SATAVAHANAS: Satavahanas rose as an independent power following the decadence of the Sungas. Thirty rulers of the dynasty have ruled for about 250 years, beginning C.SU HC to C. 225 AD.

PUBLISHERS GUNTUR-10 Copies can be had from College Book Centre Guntur-4 Price Rs.40/- Pnnted at : Don Bosco Technical School Press, Ring Road. Guntur - 522 007 A.P. PREFACE I have made an earnest attempt, in this book, to present a concise and clear account of the History of the Andhras upto A.D. 1565. ! do not claim that this is an original contribution on my part in the field of historical research. I have simply tried to give a dependable compendium of the best works on the subject covering all aspects. This is neither a text book nor a guide. But I hope it serves the purpose of both the under-graduate and in particular the Post-graduate students of History as a study-material for the concerned paper in their examinations. Repetition of material is unavoidable keeping in view the nature of topic-wise treatment of the subject. I express my deep sense of gratitude to all those writers whose publications ! have made use of with great profit. Also ! extend my grateful thanks to all those who have been behind me in providing the necessary spirit and enthusiasm in my en devour and those who have seen the book through the press. April, 1988.

  • The Place Name Generic
    NÁÔu: The Place Name Generic -R. Balakrishnan “They found in villages the security and companionship they needed. Every one knew every one. Skills could be exchanged. Harvesting the crops and other heavy tasks could be lightened by co-operative effort, and the nearby graves of ancestors gave a comfortable sense of belonging and continuity”1 I NÁÔu as a term to denote a ‘place’ or ‘territory’ of varying sizes, ranging from ‘village’ to ‘country’, is used in Dravidian languages spoken in different re- gions of India. The earliest attestation for the term is available in the CaÆkam corpus, the earliest extant Dravidian literature, and the term is in current use. This continuity in use and the geographical spread make the study of NÁÔu as a place name generic more purposeful for its potential to offer a unique insight into the genesis and utility of the term in spatial and temporal senses. NÁÔu as a place name generic occurs in many parts of India including the areas where Dravidian languages are not being spoken currently. The place name generic without the euphonic ‘u’ in the word final occurs as nÁÔ on many occa- sions. Place name generics such as nÁju, nÁé and nÁƱu occurring in different regions are considered variants of the term nÁÔu, probably sharing a common etymological origin. This article intends to statistically account for the occurrence of NÁÔu, NÁÔ, NÁr (NÁé), NÁju and nÁƱu as place name suffixes in India and traces the factors common to them. Besides, it intends to browse through the literary, epigraphic and folklore materials in various Dravidian languages to understand the gen- esis of the term.
