He was a Bhattu kavi with the feudal Zamindar of Challapalli. He composed Apart Andhra Nayaka Satakam on Srikakulandhra Vishnu which is his most literary work. He also composed Hamsaladeevi Gopala Satakam, Manasa bodha Satakam, Bhakta Kalpadruma Satakam, etc. Around central circar districts, his Manasa Bodha has also been quite popular.[1] The town of Srikakulam in Krishna District has a very ancient temple dedicated to Andhra Vishnu. It is a few kilometers away from the Kaasula Purushottama kavi's native place Diviseema.
