Page:A Family History of Venkatagiri Rajas.djvu/69



Yachama Naidu, the second son of Pinna Kondappa by his second wife, has little that is noteworthy. This generation is important for the long genealogy preserved in that Telugu poetical work "Bhanumati Parinayam" written by Vetur Ranga Rajah and dedicated to Rayappa Naidu his brother's grandson. His brothers son Venkatadri Naidu is the founder of Venkatagiri which is the capital of Venkatagiri Estate. Venkatadri Naidu defeated Gobburi Poligars of Kalimili, a name by which Venkatagiri was previously known, subsequently occupied it and made it his chief residence, naming it after himself. Though the place thus passed into the possession of Venkatagiri family, it was not till the twenty-third generation that it became the capital of the Rajahs.
