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.
