Palanati Brahmanaidu (flourished in the 12th century AD); real name: Seelam Brahma Naidu was the minister in a small Andhra kingdom of Palnadu (part of present Guntur district).
Nalagama's half brother Malideva established a domain with the support of Brahmanaidu at Macherla.
[1] The Battle of Palnadu (Palnati Yudham) was immortalized in Telugu literature by the poet Srinatha in his 'Palnati Vira Charita'.
Brahmanaidu won the battle and Nagamma, the minister of king Nalagmaraju fled from the field.
However, Malidevaraju had died fighting in the battle and Brahmanaidu was forced to install Nalagmaraju as the king, who was the only surviving member of the Palnadu royal family.
