Timmarasu instead presented the king with a pair of she-goat eyes in order to satisfy the wish of the dying king. This way Timmarasu ensured that Krishnadevaraya became the successor. However, [[K.

Timmarusu had very close relations with [[Tenali Ramakrishna]] and was a supporter of him.

	In 1524, Krishnadevaraya crowned his minor son ''Yuvaraja''. A few months later the prince took ill and died of poisoning. Accusing Timmarusu for this crime, Krishnadevaraya had ~~the entire family of the ministers~~ Prisoned. It is said the King later released Timmarusu, on knowing that the conspiracy to kill his own son was hatched by Gajapatis of Odisha. The Gajapatis did not want their princess Jaganmohini to wed Krishadevaraya, as they believed he was not pure. The Gajapatis belonged to [[Suryavansha]] (Solar Dynasty) clan of Odisha. But had to agree to this marriage, owing to Krishnadevaraya's victory over Gajapatis. Krishanadevaraya's parents, Narasa Nayaka a chieftain from Dakshina Kannada and Nagaladevi a chieftain's daughter from Andhra, were not from the royal family of Vijayanagara ([[Sangama Dynasty]]). The king deplored and repented with Timmarusu, later on. On being released, Timmarusu spent the rest of his life in [[Tirumala Venkateswara Temple\|Tirupati]]. He refused to take any support from his former King. He died a death in poverty. His Samadhi is in Penukonda, Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
