Pericchedi)
The Parichchedis were a medieval ruling clan in Andhra. [1]
History
The Parichchedis were initially the samantas (vassals) of the Chalukyas. [2] They originated from social groups such as the besta (fisherman) and peasant groups of the Shudra varna. [2] After becoming rulers, they claimed Kshatriya status. [3] They also claimed descent from Durjaya, a descendant of Karikala Chola. [4] [5] These claims of Kshatriya origin and descent from semi-mythical and mythical persons demonstrate a tendency of the medieval Brahmanical society to absorb lower caste rulers into Kshatriya fold. [6] They were staunch patrons of Hindu Dharma in contrast to the Chalukyas, who initially were patrons of Jainism. [7]
