Anapotha Naidu had two sons, Pedda Singama Naidu and Dharma Naidu and the ​main line descended from the second. This Dharma Naidu is called Siva Bhupathi in Singabhupaliyam. The line of Pithapuram Rajahs branches from here. Nothing more is known about him.
Next to his elder brother and his descendants. Pedda Singama Naidu alias Sarwagna Singa Bhupathi, a titular name on account of his great learning, is known for his book on rhetoric, "Singabhupaliyam." He wrote also a commentary on "Sangeetharatnakaram" a treatise on music, and some other Sanskrit books which brought him the prefix Sarwagna, meaning all-knowing or omniscient. Singabhupaliyam is unique in its kind and portions from it were quoted by that great Sanskrit commentator Mallinatha in his Raghuvamsam commentary, and are also noted as authority in such books as "Rasarnava Sudhakaram, Alankara Siromani and Pratapa Rudriyam and Balaramayanam Vyakyanams." His period (re Nagambika's inscription appended ​elsewhere) is the latter part of the fourteenth century. His son Anapotha Naidu, same as Annama Naidu, defeated Sammeta Somuud of the Lunar line. He lost his life in fighting with Bolupalli Bukkha Rajah in the siege of Gandikota.
His third brother, Vedagiri Naidu or China Singama Naidu, gave a fit punishment to Bukkha Rai by subsequently defeating and capturing him, though in the end he forgave him. Mada Naidu the youngest of the brothers is remembered by his wife's inscription at Nagasamudram in 1429 A.D. Nagasamudram is the name of a tank built by Nagamamba at Nagaram, a place four miles north-east of Rachakonda, the capital town described already. In that inscription Mada Naidu is described as the author of a commentary on Ramayanam called "Raghaviyam" duly dedicated to Sree Rama. Anapotha Naidu, the son of China Singama or Vedadri Naidu is not noteworthy, but his first son ​Sarwagna Singama Naidu is the poet-prince, who won the immortal praise of Sree Nadha, and in whose name was written "Bhoginidandakam" by Bammara Potha Raju of Bhagavatam fame.

From India's burning clime I'm brought, With cooling gales like zephyrs fraught. Not Iris, when she paints the sky, Can show more different hues than I: Nor can she change her form so fast, I'm now a sail, and now a mast. I here am red, and there am green, A beggar there, and here a queen. I sometimes live in a house of hair, And oft in hand of lady fair. I please the young, I grace the old, And am at once both hot and cold Say what I am then, if you can, And find the rhyme, and you're the man.

His second son Chitti Dacha ​Naidu belongs to the main line. His elder brother Dharma Naidu, from whom descended the line of Pithapuram Rajahs, is famous for building the strong fort of Nallakonda in a taluk of the same name in the Nizam's Dominions and this is evidenced by the Sannad of Kancherla Varu (appended). Mailavaram line branches from Nalla Sura Naidu brother of the twelfth member as also the Suraneni family, and Mada Naidu or Madhava Naidu (thirteenth generation) is the father of Poluri line to which belongs Surabhi line also.

Fourth Generation.
Yerra-Dacha Naidu.
Yerra-Dacha Naidu was the son of Vennama Naidu and Pochama Devi. He was also known as Yachama Naidu, and he married Pochemma of Damara Vari family. His time is not eventful except for a few military achievements. When Kuntluri Imman reached Gollapalli, he went there with his brother Nalla-Dacha Naidu, defeated his forces and also put him to death.
Secondly, when the five Pandya Kings : Vira Pandya, Vikrama Pandya, Sundara Pandya, Kulasekhara Pandya and Parakrama Pandya, occupied Conjeeveram, at the request of the then King Pratapa Rudra II, he marched against them, and so utterly defeated them that he not only captured their elephants, horses, insignia, but returned with a beautiful emerald as big as the palm of the ​hand and a throne all lined with gold, like Arjuna that made present of his rich booty Yerra-Dacha Naidu gave all these to Pratapa Rudra II, who so appreciated his valour and liberal-mindedness, that he returned them to himself. He was also given the title of Pancha Pandya Dala Viphala, the destroyer of the armies of the five Pandyas, and Kanchi-kavata-churakara, the breaker of Kanchi gates. He was also a supporter of Thirukkola kingdom, and a chief source of help for all the neighbouring chiefs; his expeditions are described in the inscription of the sixth descendant Mada Naidu at Umamaheswaram (appended).

# A Family History of Venkatagiri Rajas/5th Generation

Fifth Generation.
Singama Naidu.
Singama Naidu, Vennama Naidu and Yachama Naidu, the three sons of Yerra-Dacha Naidu are the important members of this generation, and the present Hne descends from the eldest. The chief source of information about this warrior-prince is the famous Telugu book known as SingabhupaUyam. From it we gather that he reigned at Rachakonda and Devarakonda, two taluks now belonging to the Nizam's Dominions. The period of his sway corresponds to that of Pratapa Rudra II (1295—1323 A.D.). He built several agraharams in Eleswaram a place of pilgrimage on the banks of the Krishna.
He was also known for some deeds of fighting. Among his achievements may be ​mentioned the defeat and death of Macha komma Naidu and of Rudra Naidu near Gilugupalli, for which he was amply rewarded. History records that he was given rewards on eighty several occasions and therefore known as Asithivarala-Singama Naidu. The last exploit brought on him his end. When his brother-in-law Chintalapalli-Singama Naidu was captured at Jallipalli by Chalukya Kings, and imprisoned in a hill-fort, he personally marched with an army and besieged it. The officers inside the fort dared not to attack openly. So they sent a sorceror Thammala Brahmaji to murder him treacherously. Thereupon Brahmaji entered the camp of Rajah in disguise and stabbed him to death. Before his death the Rajah wanted his sons to avenge by performing his funeral rites with the blood of his enemies.
The history of the other members of this generation is not eventful. Only two events deserve mention. The first is the assistance ​rendered to Mannavaru when Kolamachella was attacked by the Muhammadans. The second is the defeat of the famous Anavema Reddi at Dannala fort by Naga Naidu, which finds a mention in Singabhupaliyam. Naga Naidu is specially remembered by a fort built in his name in Rachakonda taluk.

He continued to serve on the station last named from Jan. 1800 until Aug. 1804 in the Cyclops sloop, Capt. John Fyffe; after which we find him employed for five years on board the Pheasant 18, Capts. Robt. Paul, Robt. Henderson, and John Palmer; being during that period successively created, on 2 Nov. 1804 and 28 Aug. 1806, an acting and a confirmed Lieutenant. In the latter capacity, after he had endured a servitude of two years in the West Indies, Mr. Jack accompanied the expedition to the Rio de la Plata under Sir Sam. Achmuty, and was in consequence present at the capture of Monte Video in Feb. 1807. He then served for some time on the coast of Africa, and ultimately on the Home station; where, off the Western Islands, and at the Cape of Good Hope, he was next, from Aug. 1809 until April, 1816, employed on board the Désirée 36, and Liverpool 40, both commanded by Capt. Arthur Farquhar. In the former ship he distinguished himself by his activity as Senior Lieutenant at the blockade of the German rivers, and at the reduction of Cuxhaven and Glückstadt, in Dec. 1813 and Jan. 1814; and when on his return to England in the Liverpool, after having been engaged at the blockade of Ile de Bourbon, he appears to have been nearly lost off Dover, in consequence of that frigate having taken the ground at the foot of Shakspeare’s Cliff, from which perilous position she was only extricated by cutting away all her masts and spars, and throwing overboard her guns, provisions, and stores. Mr. Jack, who had been on half-pay since 1816, accepted his present rank 21 April, 1840.
