This book recounts the History of the Andhra Pradesh Country from 1000 to 1500 A.D. including many dynasties (for example. the Reddis of Korukonda and the Eruva Chola of Rajahmundry)....
Part 29 - Gangaraja A.D. (1420-1440)
Gangaraja’s relationship to Sangama is not known. His earliest inscription is from Simhachalam dated A D. 1420 recording gifts made for his own satisfaction. The upper limit of his reign may be tentatively fixed as A.D. 1440—the probable date for the rule of his successors.
His Political Relations
Gangaraja’s contemporaries at Oddadi were Prataparjuna (A.D. 1399-1427) and Pratapavallabha (A.D. 1427-1467). As Prataparjuna claims to have conquired Jantarnadu by A.D. 1421 evidently Gangaraja suffered reverse in Matsya hands.
Chalukya Kumaraerranna at Elamanchili, Verna and Virabhadra of the Reddis of Rajahmudry, Bhanudeva IV of the Gangas and Kapilesvara of the Gajapatis, were contemporaneous with Gangaraju. In this period Verna and Virabhadra led expeditions into Kalinga and perhaps Jantarnadu was exempt from them.
