Srinatha was born to Bhimamba and Marayya in 1365. He is respected as Kavi Sarvabhouma (King of poets) and is being patronized by many kings including the Kondavidu Reddys, Velamas of Rachakonda and Deva Raya II of the Vijayanagara Empire. Even though he is married, Srinatha is in awe of a woman's beauty and dedicates his poems in praise of their beauty. Srinatha dedicates a host of books to kings and enjoys a luxurious life. Srinatha works as a minister in the court of Pedakomati Vema Reddy of Kondaveedu.
