Polavasa / Polasa chiefs / Nengonda Dynasty   (1075 AD -1160 AD) are the descendants of Rashtrakutas and  were based immediately north of the Kakatiya territories.  Polavasa was a capital under the rule of Medaraja (1080–1110). They ruled from  their capital at Polavasa (modern day  Jagtial)  of  Karimnagar district  to Narsampet of Warangal district from their capital at Polavasa. Polavasa kings would have maintained the confederation, as three brothers Medararaju,Edaraju and Gundaraja  (1116- 1138)  was ruling from different places and bearing the same title.
