10. KONDAKIRLA. This estate, compriaing thirteen Jirijati or wses^le villages and one Srotriyam, was bought hy the R&jah of Viaaoagnim, at the sale of the Havelly lands, in 1802 for Bupees 10,890, subject to a pesh- kaah of Rupees 19,800. In 1807 he sold it to Kanunanchi Yenkat&- chalam Pantulu, at whose death in 1837 it pBsaed to his maternal grandson, Mantripragada Yenkata Rao.
