Two Telugu inscriptions of the 16th century have been found near the Poleramma (local village deity) temple inside the Nallamala forest at Palutla, Yerragondapalem mandal, Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh, which are engraved on a slab.
Decoding the inscriptions, K. Munirathnam Reddy, Director (Epigraphy), Archaeological Survey of India, Mysuru, told The Hindu, “They are written in Telugu and contain characters of the 16th century C.E., dated in the cyclic year Akshaya, Sravana, Su 10.”
Mr. Reddy said one of the inscriptions records the construction of cradle pillars (uyyala-kambalu) to Goddess Poleramma by Jangam, son of Linggabattu, of Gurazala.
