The Chagis also known as the ''Sagis'' or ''Tyagis'' who were Suryavanshi Kshatriyas & also were the rulers of Natavadi (''Nellore District'') and Vijyavativishayas (''Krishna District'') with capitals at Gudimetta (''Prakasam District''), Vijayananda, and Vinukonda (''Guntur District''), at different times for nearly three centuries and a half with interregnums in the middle. The Chagi dynasty owed nominal allegiance to the Cholas, the Kakatiyas and the Gajapatis. The rulers were warriors and administrators and de facto independent rulers. Their kingdom was fairly large and made significant political achievements compared to other dynasties in Vengi at the time. They had their own coinage and contracted diplomatic alliances of marriage with the Kakatiyas and the Kondapadamati chiefs of Durjaya clan, Haihayas of Palnadu and the Telugu Cholas.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=-d9IAvFOUHsC&printsec=frontcover&dq=chagi+india+1000&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UqUOUaOzHsHhrAG7vIHwAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=chagi&f=false〕 The Kakatiya King Ganapati Deva's sister Melambika was married to the second son of Chagi Buddaraju, who was ruling Natavadi region.〔No. 254(AR No. 204 of 1905) Melambika, sister of Kakatiya Ganapatideva and wife of Rudra, son of Buddaraja, chief of Natavadi consecrated the image of Mailambikesvara in the temple of Tripurantaka〕〔(The History of Andhras, Durga Prasad )〕 ==Origin== *According to Ramavilas by Telugu Lakshmana Kavi, the Chagi’s ancestry is as follows: ''Brahma was born from the navel lotus of Vishnu and from him was born Mariachi. Marichi’s son was Kashyapa and his son was Bhaskara. Bhaskara’s son was Vaivasvata, whose son was Manu and Manus’s son was Ikshavaku. In Ikshavakavamsa as born Kakutsa, Raghu and Dasharatha. Dasharatha’s son was Rama of Suryavamsa, through them, Sagivamsa arose and became famous with great warriors and saints like Nagarjuna''. *Chagi Venkana was believed to be the first of the Chagis. He was of the solar race and was the lord of the west (Paschimadhisvara) and protector of the earth. *Other branches of the Chagi dynasty are the Vatsavayi, Pericchedi and Telugu Chola (Choda) according to the inscriptions. *An inscription left in a temple in the Krishna district around 1260 CE gives the genealogy of the Sagis and states the family is of the ''Bahujakula'' (Kshatriya). ''Bahuja'' means arm or shoulder in Sanskrit and ''kula'' means clan. In Hindu mythology, the four castes formed from the body of lord Brahma with the Kshatriyas arising from his arms and chest.〔No. 373. Nandigama Taluk, Krishna District. S. 1182. (Raudri) States that a certain Brahmin Chavali Bhaskara consecrated the image of Sagi Ganapesvara and that king Sagi Manma endowed the temple with land. Describes the Sagi family as of Kshatriya caste (bahujakula) and gives the donor’s genealogy.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chagi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
