There was another branch of the Telugu Chodas ruled from <MASK> and chieftains of Kakatiyas. The Telugu poet, Tikkana, in the introduction of his Nirvachanottara Ramayanamu, gave an account of the history and antecedents of this family. These Chodas also claimed descent from the famous Karikala Chola. They ruled over their kingdom consisting of the Nellore, Cuddapah, Chittoor and Chengalpet districts with Vikramasimhapuri (modern Nellore) as their capital.
