Venkatadri Naidu. Little is known about the chief member, Pinna Kondappa Naidu, the third son. Pedda Kondappa Naidu stayed at Velugodu, and his younger brother Thimma Naidu, at Gani in Nandyal taluk. Thimma Naidu a brave soldier, lived during the days of Achyuta Deva Rai and Rama Rai of Vijayanagar. He defeated Thimma Raju at Pattukota, and Bhairam Khan on a different occasion. When the Sardars and Poligars made an united attempt to defeat him in 1530 A.D., he came out victorious to the surprise of all, but in the end he was slain by Obala Rai, who was in his turn defeated and killed by his second son Nayanappa Naidu on ihe banks of the Krishna in 1546 A.D.
His youngest son Yerra Thimma Naidu was also an able warrior and commanded much respect from Rama Rai. His son Thimma Naidu left an inscription dated 1583 A.D., at Podili, the headquarters of a taluk of the same name in Venkatagiri Estate. It treats of his free gift of lands to Brahmins and is significant by different names given to members of his family. In that inscription he is himself styled Kumara Chinria Thimma Naidu, his father Kumara Thimma Naidu, and his uncle as Pedda Thimma Naidu. This serves to prove how members are known by more names than one.
