 Twenty-first Generation.

Introductory. — Kumara Rangappa Naidu the eldest of these brothers, became the founder of a line of kings at Bobbili, and details of his life are procurable from a history of Bobbili Rajahs written from the pen of the Maharajah of Bobbili.

Military. — The sixth of the brothers is the chief member of this line. Nothing is known about him except that he once opposed the troops from Mysore in an engagement near the village of Chavali and routed them in a close pursuit of thirty miles, for which act of bravery he was amply rewarded by Abdul Padusha, the Nawab of Carnatic, with horses, elephants and royal presents, besides a bright sword.
