I think it is prakkala nilabadi. In Telugu, there are many words with this r - both prakka and pakka mean 'beside'. I guess prakkala is more older and formal, while pakka is modern and used in day to day conversation. e.g. even mokku, mokkeda (to pray) in some compositions is written as mrokku, mrokkeda. The present form used in daily talking is mokku. Of course, some Telugu pandit will give a better answer. Ravi.

According to Dr. S.Pinakapani's version it is PRakkala nilabaDi . In his book the kriti in 'darbar' is givan as mundu venka iru pRakkala tODai .( i remember the pronounciation in the K V N recording of the darbar kriti also is pRakkala toDai).
