19 II. The Jamindars of the Vásired di Family of Chintapalli, Guntur Kaifiyat (Guntur - 11) Certain Vasireddi Virappanedu of the Kamma caste, entered the service of Raya and having won the favour of the Nawab obtained the Jamindari of Nandigama sima. Virappanedu's son was Vasireddi Pedda Ramanna. He again obtained from the Raya, Penuganchiprolu and Chebrolu simas in the Bandar Sarkar. When the country was occupied by the Muslims, Peda Ramanna's son Vásireddi Padmanabha accepted the sovereignty of the Golconda Nawab Shah Alam Padshah who conferred upon him the Jamindari of Kondavidu, Bellamkonda and Vinukondḍa simas. He ruled for 20 years. His adopted son was Buchchi Raghavayya. As his elder brother Chandramouli was unable to maintain the entire Kondaviḍu-rajya, the Nawab divided the region into three parts, among (1) Manikyārao varu (2) Manūrivaru and (3) Vasireddi Chandramouli. He ruled upto A. D. 1718, when his brother Ramalinganna succeeded. He constructed a locality called Ramachandrapuram agraharam to the west of Guntur. He governed upto $. 1660, A. D. 1738. Afterwards his elder brother Suranna gover- ned the Jamindari. His brother China Narsanna governed for 7 years. His younger brother China Ramalinganna ruled for 12 years. His adopted son Janganna governed for some years and his son Reddi Venkatádri näyuḍu after his minority took over the Jamindari in s. 1704 (A. D. 1782). He obtained the title Manne Sultan and awards from the Nawab. He again won the favour of the Company authorities. He ruled for 35 years. There are different versions in different Kaifiyats with regard to the successive rulers and their regnal periods of this family also. Väsireddi Padmanabhayya's son or brother Chandramouli seems to be one of the three original Jamfndars of Kondavidu i.e. Chitapalli division. Chandramouli his brother Peda Rāmalinganna his brothers Suranna, Narasanna his younger brother China Ramalinganna his adopted son Janganna his son Venkaṭādri Nāyuḍu his son Jagannatha Bābu This is only a tentative arrangement.
