2. An adjacent, smaller engraving names his wife as Naga Easwaramma. The text uses the phrasing “Basavappa Pendlamu Naga Easwaramma”.
3. The explicit use of the word “Pendlamu” Which means wife , gives linguists direct evidence of the evolution and usage of the historic Rayalaseema dialect during the late medieval period

Historical Significances
