Cakranārāyaṇa refers to a particular roayal clan which came to power in parts of the district comprising Darsi and Ongole. Its members ruled in Ongole and Darsi taluks from 1247 to 1273. At least for generations of them (viz., the cakranārāyaṇas) are known to history. Mādhava Nāyaka, the son of Sauri-Suravara, was the first of them and was the Governor of Addanki. These chiefs and their prime ministers were under the Gaṇapati and his successor, Rudramma Devi.
