Renati Cholas - The Erragudipadu Inscription or Kalamalla Inscription is the oldest and first inscription found completely in Telugu found in Kadappah region dated 575 AD. The inscription was issued by a Renati Chola ruler named Erikal Mutturaju Dhananjaya Varma. It is believed that Renati Cholas are the founders who developed Telugu language. They themselves say that they are the descendants of Karikala Cholan of Cauvery delta.
Pottapi Cholas - They ruled the Kadappah region after fall of Renati Cholas.
Konidena Cholas - They are also a branch of Renati Cholas who ruled from Guntur region.
Nannuru Cholas - Another branch of Telugu Cholas who ruled from the Pakanadu region.
Velanati Chodas - Another branch of Telugu Cholas.
apart from that there was Choda gangas of Kalinga (Orissa), Nidugal Cholas of Karnataka, Rajahnate of cebu, Ari Cholas of Yaazhpaanam etc.
Chola Descendant lineage can be found in many south indian & Eelam kingdoms, esp after the conquest of early Chola Karikala Cholan & Medieval Chola Rajaraja & Rajendra Cholan.
Adhiraja Srikanth : A Pottapi Chola, who is the king of Mylapore - which is the south east part of Renadu. He is also called as Ottriyuran as he is from Ottriyur region. ( Today's Tiruvottiyur ) We are able to trace Srikantha's ancestors with the help of an Eastern Chalukyan king's Copper plate grants, Anbil plate of Parantaka Chola II and it's clear that he is from the lineage of Sundarananda, who is the 2nd son of Nandivarma Chola. Also from Velanjeri plates of Parantaka I & Anbil plates, its clear that Adhiraja Srikantha is the father of Vijayalaya Chola, who is the founder of the Imperial Chola dynasty. Here we can see that Sundarananda was succeeded by the son (Navarama alias Mahendra vikrama I Chola Maharaja) of his younger brother Dhananjaya, its nothing wrong if we consider Sundarananda had Left no child. at first, Navarama was subordinate of Simhavishnu and Mahendra varman I of Kanchi, as evidenced by the resemblance of his titles with those of Mahendra - varman, he seems to have affirmed his independence later just like Simhavishnu Choda. He had a dugaraja ( Yuvaraja ) of Erigal under him, possibly his eldest son Gunamudita. The youngest son Punyakumara was Mutturaja of Erigal and over southern Renadu with Chippili as his capital. After Gunamudita's rule as king ( 620-25 ), he succeeded him in the rule of Renadu with Malepadu as capital.
During the 7th to 8th centuries, the Mutharaiyar served as feudatories of the Pallava dynasty and controlled the fertile plains of the Kaveri region. An inscription in the Vaikuntha Perumal temple in Kanchipuram mentions a Mutharaiyar chief receiving Nandivarman II at the latter's coronation. According to historian T. A. Gopinatha Rao, this chief was Suvaran Maaran (also called Kshatriya Koli Perumbidigu Muthurayar II).
It is said that in the year 852 CE Vijayalaya Chola waged war with Pandya's and defeated the latter. Making use of the opportunity during a war between Pandyas and Pallavas, Vijayalaya rose and established the Chola kingdom at Thanjavur with help of Muttaraiyar king Sattan Paliyilli (826–852 CE).
While Vijayalaya Chola was supported by Pallava , the Muttaraiyan chief was supported by Pandya. Some see that as a part of political plann, Sattan helped vijayala chola in establishing an imperial chola dynasty as both these kings originally belong to the same Muttaraiyar clans.
