The TeluguKshatriyas (Rajus) have Rishi Gothras and
Raja Pravaras also.
Rishi Pravara indicates to which Rishi ( Sage) disciples they have been.
Raja Pravara indicates to which Royal Race or lineage they belong.
Brahmins and Bhatrajus/Bhattus ( Bards / Minstrels ) recite these Rishi and Raja Pravaras at Rajus' Ceremonies.
Rajus have four Gothras ( Vashishta, Dhananjaya, Koundinya and Kashyapa). The Rayalaseema and Nellore district Rajus ( Kshatriyas) have four Gothras like Circar and Kalingandhra Rajus viz. Vashishta, Dhananjaya, Pashupathi and Kashyapa. The ' Pashupathi' Gothra which is seen among the Rayalaseema and Nellore Rajus could be synonym of Koundinya Gothra . 'Surname' plays important role in Telugus' culture. Surname and Gothra both are equally important. Because some surnames are common in all the castes and in some cases Gothras are also common.
But usually Gothra and Surname combination of a caste person need not be the same of other caste person.
Rajus claim that they are descendants of Four Dynasties that ruled the Telugu land.
These 4 Dynasties are :
a) PARICHEDIS ( Guhila , Vishnukundin Clan )
b) KOTA/ DHARANI KOTA (Kubja Vishnuvardhan,Eastern Chalukya Clan )
c) KAKATI/KAKATIYA ( Karikala Chola, Kakati Prola Raju Clan).
d) VARNATA ( Aditya chola, Varnata Rajendra Chola Clan).
Information available on this topic in Telugu book " Andhra Samsthanamulu - Sahitya Poshana" published by Andhra University. This book was published form of Ph.D thesis submitted by Dr. Thoomati Donappa ( Former Vice Chancellor of Telugu University).
Another reference book on this subject is " Sri Andhra Kshatriya Vamsa Ratnakaram" by Budharaju Varahalaraju.
Another book ' KSHATRIYANVAYAMANJUSHA' by Sri. Duvvuri Jagannadha Sharma

Telugu Kshatriyas ( Rajus) have four gothras viz. Vashshta,Dhananjaya,Kashyapa and Kaundinya.
All these gothras have Royal lineage viz. Parichedi, Dharani Kota/ Kota, Kakatiya and Varnata Dynasties.
Circar District and Kalingandhra district Rajus have the above mentioned four gothras.
The Kshayapa gotra is in short called as Kashi/Kasi gothra.
The Rajapalayam Rajus ( who migrated to southern Tamil Nadu 400/500 years back) also have the same surnames and gothras of these Circar district Rajus, but 2-3 additional surnames within this four gothra fold are also seen in Rajapalayam .
Rajus ( i.e Telugu speaking Kshatriyas) of Nellore district and Rayalaseema also ( they are seen mostly in Nellore district, Chittoor district and Rly. Koduru & Rajampeta of Kadapa YSR district ; also seen in Tiruvallur, Tiruttani Taluks of Tamil Nadu) have four gothras only viz. Vashishta, Dhananjaya,Kashyapa and Pashupathi.
This Pashupathi gothra could be synonym of Kaundinaya gothra
Surnames of Nellore district and Rayalaseema Rajus are different from that of Circar district Rajus, however all these are in this four gothra fold only. But some surnames like Sagiraju, Valivarthi, Chamarthi/Chemarti, Keerthipati, Konduru/ Konduri , Rudraraju, Gadiraju, pathapati, Samanthapudi, Madiraju ...are common among the Circar districts and Nellore/Rayalaseema Rajus.
( Kshatriyas). Several Telugu Kshatriya families from Chittoor and Nellore district settled in around Bangalore and Chennai cities.

Very few surnames among the Telugu Kshatriyas ( Rajus) are seen in two gothras.
This could be because two gothra families settled in a same village, such village name became surname of both the gothri Rajus. Ex. Vetukuri , Chekuri are seen in both Vashishta and Dhananjaya gothras.
Similarly Saagi Raju/ Sagi Raju, Bairraju, Gadiraju surnames also seen in both the gothras. These surnames are not village names, might be a forefather/ a king's name emerged as surnames, means two principals of these two different gothra Rajus from where these surnames emerged might be of the same name. Mudunuri/Mudundi, Jampana surnames are seen in both Dhananjaya and Koundinyasa gothras. Dhananjaya gothra Jampana surname Rajus are known as 'Kota Jamapana ', the Koundinya gothra Rajus are known as 'Varnata Jampana'.
