The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c8.59

v1.c8.59

The Ramarajiyamu informs us that Rama Raya also married Appalamba, the daughter of Peddanandi Raju of the Jillella family, and Kondamma and Lakshmamma, the daughters of Timma of the Pochiraju family ⁴. As to Rama Raya’s sons, the Kondyata grant of Venkata III and the Kallakursi grant of Ranga III state that “from the famous king Rama Raya there sprang five sons, who were able to protect the world, who followed the path of policy, and who longed to grant the desires of the crowd of wise men” ⁵. These five sons are also mentioned in the aforesaid Ramarajiyamu. The first two are Krishnaraya or Krishnapa and Peda Timmaraja; they were the sons of Tirumalamba ⁶. Peda Timma became a victorious general against the army of Nizam Shah, and was probably the one whose grant is recorded in an inscription of Bollavaram, Cuddapah District, under the name of ‘Papa Timmayyadeva Maharaja, son of Rama Raya Timma Raya’ ⁷.
