Findspots of the records of the Telugu Cholas of Renandu (6th–8th centuries): the early Telugu stones at Kalamalla, Erragudipadu and Tippaluru, the copper plates of Punyakumara from Malepadu and Dommara-Nandyala, the Chamaluru stone of Vijayaditya Chola, and Budili, seat of the collateral line of Srikantha. The shaded area is a rough sketch of Renandu, the country between the Chitravati and the Cheyyeru, as its 1956 editors described it.
