( September 2017 ) There are many legends behind the origin of the name Vijayawada. Goddess Durga killed the demon and relaxed in this place for some time. As she was victorious ( vijaya ), the place came to be known as Vijayawada ( vijaya translates to victory and wada as place / location, literally `` The Place of Victory '' ). The epic Mahabharata refers to the Indrakiladri hills as the place where Arjuna secured Pashupatastra from Lord Shiva. The city thereafter came to be known as Vijayavatika and later as Vijayawada. In some legends, Vijayawada was referred to as ' Rajendracholapura '. A tale behind its acquiring the name Bezawada is that Goddess Krishnaveni ( River Krishna ) requested Arjuna to make a passage for her to merge into the Bay of Bengal. Hence, Arjuna made a bejjam ( hole ) through the mountains and the place came to be known as Bejjamwada which later changed to Bezawada. There is a rational reason behind the name change. At the time the Odisha ( Gajaptis ) kings ruled this area, they wrote and pronounced Vijayawada as Bizayawada, because they do not have the letter V in Odisha Lipi. Then at the time of British rule, the Bengali scholars who helped the British rulers in ruling, wrote and pronounced Vijayawada as Bizayawada. Gradually Bizayawada became Bizawada and Bezawada in Britishers calling. Brief history Bezwada ( as Vijayawada was known then ) was founded around 626 A.D. by Paricchedi Kings ( ancestors of Pusapati Kings of Vizianagaram ). Vijayawada history reveals that Bezawada ( Vijayawada ) was ruled by King Madhava Varma ( one of the kings of Vishnukundina dynasty ). Chinese Buddhist scholar Xuanzang stayed few years in Bezawada ( Vijayawada ) in around 640 A.D. to copy and study the Abhidhamma Pitaka, the last of the three pitakas ( Pali for baskets ) constituting the Pali canon, the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. Mogalrajapuram hills have five rock - cut temples, built during the 4th -- 9th centuries. Some of the caves can be attributed to Vishnukundina dynasty. Akkana Madanna Caves, at the foot of Indrakeeladri Hill, is a monument of national importance. At the foot of Indrakeeladri hills is the temple of Malleswara. The temple has inscriptions dating back to 9th century AD to 16th century AD by various kings. There are ten pillars and a mutilated slab ( recognized as monuments by Archaeological Survey of India ) with inscriptions in Telugu language. Of them, the inscriptions issued by Yudhamalla I and II of Eastern Chalukyas are important. In the early 16th century, during the reign of Qutb Shahi dynasty ( also known as Golconda Sultanate ), diamond mines were found near Vijayawada on the banks of Krishna River.
