Physics:Utpatti pidugu
The term 'Utpatti pidugu' is arguably a name that appears on many inscriptions from ancient India. Many historians have taken note of these inscriptions and have written extensively on them. The meaning of these words is 'thunder bolt' and it is believed that it may be the name of an artist guild working in Andhra Pradesh.[1] The inscription is written is Telugu Kannada script.[2][3]
K.V. Soundararajan has read the inscription as Utpatipidugu and interprets it as a pilgrim label.[4] Deepak Kannal and Jayaram Poduval[5] have worked on a special volume titled 'Sri Utpattipidugu', Nirukta, 2005. Deepak Kannal believes that Utpatti pidugu could be the name of a religious leader who created a new movement and was able to gain political influence.
