A 16th-century Telugu inscription has been discovered on the north wall of the Sri Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy temple in Tadipatri, located in Anantapur district, India. Historian MyNaa Swamy deciphered the inscription, which documents the homage paid by Basavappa, son of Satram Cheruvupalli Kalayya from Mahimaluru, to Sri Tatiparti Rameshwara Deva. The inscription notes that this event occurred on Chaitra Bahula Dwadashi during the Telugu cyclic year of Bhava, estimated to be either 1574 or 1634 CE. The base of the inscription features carvings of Basavappa and his wife, identified as Naga Easwaramma, in a posture of devotion. The term 'Pendlamu' signifies the local dialect of Rayalaseema, reflecting the cultural context of the time. Swamy emphasized that Tadipatri was a significant location within the Pennabadi Seema of the Gutti Kingdom during the Vijayanagara Empire, highlighting the temple's extensive influence, as indicated by Basavappa's participation from approximately 220 km away.
