Mention of Siripuram in the previous studies regarding governance in 12th century:

Velanati Chodas took keen interest in excavating tanks and digging canals. Many
tanks were dedicated to temples. In Talagadadivi the paddy and sugarcane fields were said
to have been abundant with water by tanks in the vicinity. Velanati Choda-II constructed
three tanks, one at Siripuram and two at Marripundi in Ungini-marga to a temple. An
inscription from Mandapadu, Guntur district, dated 1168 A.D., belonging to the Velanati
Rajendra Choda-II, mentions tanks, viz., Prolinayaka cheruvu, Karanam maraya cheruvu,
Kotta cheruvu, Narayana cheruvu and a tank (name not mentioned). <ref>(Cf. https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/144085/11/11_%20economy.pdf, p. 133)</ref>

Historical Significance:

On a stone in front Of a ruined temple near the tank in Siripuram is an
inscription of A. D. 1165 relating how the ChålÜkya Kingdom
passed into the hands of the Chola Kings. Adjoining the village
of Patibandla is a mass of black rock crowned by temples Said to
have been built circa A. D. An inscription in Telugu records
that Kondarnanidu, Son Of Gopapatrudu, on horseback crossed over
the rock from west to east. The neighbonring villages Of Jellil-
puram and M{sapuram took their names from two Muhammadan
Jågirdårs Jellil Khan and Musa Khan. <ref>(Cf. A Manual of the Kistna District in the Presidency of Madras
