According to another legend, there were five brothers, named Poli Raju, Erranoku Raju, Katama Raju, Peddi Raju, and Errayya Raju, who lived at Yellamanchili, which, as well as Sarvasiddhi, they built. The Rajas of Nellore advanced against them, and killed them, with all their sheep, in battle. On this, Janagamayya, the son of Peddi Raju, who escaped the general slaughter, made up his mind to go to Kasi (Benares), and offer oblations to his dead father and uncles. This he did, and the gods were so pleased with him that they transported him in the air to his native place. He was followed by three persons, viz., (1) Kulagentadu, whose descendants now recite the names of the progenitors of the caste; (2) Podapottu (or juggler), whose descendants carry metal bells, sing, and produce snakes by magic; (3) Thevasiyadu, whose descendants paint the events which led to the destruction of the Golla royalty on large cloths, and exhibit them to the Gollas once a year. At the time when Janagamayya was translated to heaven, they asked him how they were to earn their living, and he advised them to perform the duties indicated, and beg from the caste. Even at the present day, their descendants go round the country once a year, after the Telugu New Year's day, and collect their dues from Golla villages. By religion the Gollas are both Vallamulu (Vaishnavites) and Striramanthulu (Saivites), between whom marriage is permissible. They belong to the group of castes who take part in the worship of Ankamma. A special feature of their worship is that they place in a bamboo or rattan box three or four long whip-like ropes made of cotton or Agave fibre, along with swords, sandals and idols. The ropes are called Virathadlu, or heroes' ropes. The contents of the box are set beneath a booth made of split bamboo (palavili), and decorated with mango leaves, and flowers. There also is placed a pot containing several smaller pots, cowry shells, metal and earthenware sandals, and the image of a bull called bolli-avu (bull idol). When not required for the purpose of worship, the idols are hung up in a room, which may not be entered by any one under pollution. Some Karna Gollas earn their living by selling poultry, or by going about the country carrying on their head a small box containing idols and Virathadlu. Placing this at the end of a street, they do puja (worship) before it, and walk up and down with a rope, with which they flagellate themselves. As they carry the gods (Devarlu) about, these people are called Devara vallu. As the Gollas belong to the left-hand section, the Pedda Golla, or headman, has only a Madiga as his assistant.
