Prince Chinna Timmayadeva, the brother of Rama Raya Vitthala, must also be mentioned among the patrons of literature during this period. In 1544 he granted twelve puttis of land in the village of Tirumalapuram to its learned Brahmans ⁴. In the same year he gave the village of Annavaram to the poet Anantaraja ⁵. He was also the patron of Dosuri Koneru-kavi, the author of the *Balabhavatamu* ⁶.
