taluq, Ondhorigam (Andhra grama) in Balliguda Agency, Ondhari-gumma or Andhragumma in the Parlakimedi Agency, Oudhrasingi in Ramagiri Agency, Ondaribondo in Surada Agency, Ondirigudo beside Oddunāju in Udayagiri Agency (nāju in Khond=country),-all these are from the Ganjam District. The occurrence of the larger number of these names in the agency tracts is the more important part of this evidence. In the Vizagapatam District, Ondhorulimma in Bissamcuttack Agency, Andhrododdi in Golgonda Agency, Ondroguda in Gunupur Agency, Andromunda in Jeypur Agency, Andhraguda in Navarangapur Agency, -all again from the agency tracts, indicate the find spots of the Andhra colonies of East Deccan in the prehistoric times spoken of in the Buddhist Jatakas. From these traces it is possible to infer that a branch, possibly, the Dhanyakataka branch, of "the Andhra-Satavahanas of History were immigrants into the Krishna District through the Kalinga and the N.E. Coast of the Madras Presidency. Their capital Dhanyakataka must have been founded after their earlier capital Dhannupuro in the Jeypur Agency of the Vizagapatam District. There is also an Amaravati in the Sompeta taluq of the Ganjam District. The Kalingas call the Andhras 'Westerners'. (J). In Khara vēla's time these Andhras were to the West of Kalinga (plains).
