The following passage dates back to 1700 AD when Sreeman Bukkapatnam Ramachandracharya ,who was a domicile of Bukkapatnam agraharam in Anantapuram district was in receipt of great gifts and honour by the rulers of Nellore ( kanigiri and udayagiri) samsthan.The kings were well satisfied and felt honoured to have such a great poet in their kingdom.SreemanRamachandracharya was a scholar in Telugu grammar and logical matters and also was a poet in the Nellore samsthan.Great  scholars were defeated by him  form many other samsthans,thus he was well known in and around  all the districts of Andhrapradesh. Birth of Sreeman Bukkapatnam Raghavacharya: Days passed by when Ramachandracharya’s wife Lakshmanambika gave birth to Sreeman bukkapatnam Raghavacharya who strongly desired to acquire  religious knowledge from his father.Thus  he developed strong desire towards religious matters .Eventually their family migrated to wanaparthy samsthan where Sreeman Raghavachary continued to be the court poet of the king of  Wanaparthy,when his wife  Sreeman  Bukkapatnam Krishnamm gave birth to Sreeman Ramachandracharya(gopalpet  ramachandra kavi).Learning about the intellectuality of Sreeman Raghavacharya,the  dual of the poets Sreeman Tirumala sastri and Sreeman Venkata sastri wished to visit the court  of wanaparthy samasthan rulers and were then defeated by Sreeman Raghavacharya after they argued in logical matters and Sanskrit grammar with Sreeman Raghavacharya in the Atmakur Amarchinta samsthan. The then poets were defeated by the  tirupari venkata kavulu of tirupati samasthan except Sreeman Raghavacharya,by this incident the Acharya’s popularity spread to every corner of the state.
