The Temple has a few inscriptions of the Pandiya king Jatavarma
Sundara Pandya-I (AD 1251-1275) of the Madura. This king had acquired merit by
fixing a Gold Kalasam on the temple at Tirumala during his reign. The Chola
king Rajendra I11 was vanished in battle by the Pandyas. His inscriptions do
not throw any light on the temple affairs of this period. However, there are several
inscriptions of the Telugu Pallava, Vijaya-Gandagopala of Nellore (AD
1250-1282).
One of the inscriptions dated AD 1254 mentions of the Kaikkolai or
temple servants of Tirumalai receiving gold in the Sri Bhandagaram and
undertaking to provide certain services to the lord. Another inscription mentions
of the famous Gandagopalamadai (the gold Madais of the Telugu Pallava
Gandagopala) paid into the Sri Bhandagaram.
