His capital was Penugonda (Jestasailam) city for all the 18 paraganas during 10th and 11th century A.D. He and his wife Kusumamba were considered an ideal couple and led a peaceful domestic life. They worshiped Lord Siva (Nageswara Swamy) as the part of their daily duties. Though they had been married for many years, the couple did not have peace of mind as there was no successor to the kingdom. Their many prayers and sacrifices did not bear fruit and hence they were grief stricken. They approached their Kula guru (family teacher) Bhaskara Acharya also a Komati who was well versed in shastras and by virtue of his profession was treated as a Komati Brahman. He advised them to perform Puthra Kamesti Yaga, which Dasharatha had observed. During the auspicious hour, the couple started the yoga. The Gods were pleased and sent prasadam (blessed fruit from god) through Yagneswara (fire God). They were told that they would beget children after eating prasadam. With devotion they ate the Prasadam and within a few days the signs of pregnancy were found with Kusumamba. She expressed unusual desires, which indicated that she would give birth to children who would fight for the welfare of all.

It is sufficiently having adequate space for future developments. The snake God Nagaraju was also installed in a corner place of that locality. On hearing this message Sri Thulluru Bala Narasimha Rao Gowda has taken a strong decision to dedicate that area where Snake God Nagaraju resides for the construction of a beautiful temple to Sri Venkateswara Swamy and he has relinquished all his rights over that land.

                        Afterwards he has taken all strenuous steps to collect donations from some philanthropic minded donars. Besides that he also contributed his own share of money and utilized the same for the construction of Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple which is now called as Sri Lakshmi Padmavathi Sametha Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, Vykuntapuram.
