General. — Rajah Sarwagna Kumara Yachama Naidu Bahadur was restored to the Estate of Venkatagiri in his sixth year and he lived to an age of 59. In his private life he felt very much attached to his brother who not only contributed to the extent of his Estate, but rendered invaluable assistance in the battlefield by defeating all their enemies. He married four wives Butchamma and Akkamma of the Damara family, and Ammakkamma and Bangaramma of the Jupalli household, and had two sons noted above. He was not only a good warrior and an able statesman, but was also very fond of learning and ranks first among the Rajahs that charitably devoted several villages as agraharams in the name of God and Religion.

Military. — First among the military expeditions must be mentioned, the several instances of assistance rendered to the Nawab of Arcot, Dhawlat Khan Bahadur in his wars in the Carnatic.
