Ellore Plates of Devavarman. 2. Kanteru grant of Nandivarman I. 3. Kanukollu Plates of Nandivarman I. 4. Kollair Plate of Nandivarman II. 5. Peddavegi grant of Nandivarman II. 6. Kanteru grant of Skandavarman. 7. Dharikatur grant of Aca峁囜笉avarman.
An examination of the ruins of 痴别峁単墨, which are found at and near Pedda-Vegi, a village seven miles north of Ellora, West Godavari district and about nine miles to the north-west of the Kolleru lake bring to our minds what an extensive and powerful city it must have been in its palmy days. At present, we see near its ruins two hamlets Pedavegi and Chinavegi. Five miles to the south-east, lies the village of Dendal奴ru, ancient Lendal奴ra with its hamlets of Ganganagudem and Senagudem closely. In ancient times, all these villages might have comprised the rich and powerful city of Vengipura.
Ve峁僩墨pura possibly represents the Benagouron of Ptolemy, theseat of the Salakenoi or 艢膩la峁卥膩yanas. If this identification be accepted, the antiquity of the city may be carried back to the second century A.D.

The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by 艢r墨 Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. 痴别峁単墨 is mentioned with its king Hastivarmman who was subjugated by Samudragupta. It seems to be an abbreviated form of 痴别峁単墨pura by dropping the suffix Pura.
痴别峁単墨 is identified with Veg墨 or Pe岣嶀笉a-veg墨, a village near Ellore Taluka between the Krishna and the Godavari rivers. Banerjee describes it as one of the Pallava kingdoms of South. But the capital of the Pallavas was K膩帽c墨. 痴别峁単墨 was the capital of the C膩lukyan kings and was also known as Vengai-n膩岣島.
: Wikipedia: India HistoryThe Vengi (or Venginadu) is a region spread over the mandals of Godavari and Krishna districts. The capital city of Vengi is located at Pedavegi near Eluru. This area was part of Kalinga until that kingdom was conquered by Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire in the mid-3rd century BC. After the Mauryan Empire collapsed in 185 BC, the region was dominated by the Satavahanas, who were succeeded in Vengi by the Andhra Ikshvakus. Around 300 AD, the Andhra Ikshvakus were replaced by the Salankayanas, who were vassals of the Pallavas of Southern India. In the late 5th century, the Salankayanas were annexed by the Vishnukundinas.
King Pulakesin II of the Chalukya conquered Vengi from the Vishnukundinas in the early 7th century and installed his brother Kubja Vishnuvardhana as the viceroy. He eventually established the Eastern Chalukya dynasty. The Eastern Chalukyas were first conquered by the Cholas under Raja Raja Chola I (985-1014) and subsequently became very closely aligned to the Chola empire.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
