To look after Ramakrishnayyas rice mill accounting works and his financial matters, he had a Gumastha ( accountant) by name Gullapalli Subbarayudu,a Niyogi brahmin.
Gullapalli subbarayudu, was unable to digest the first importance given to Phanibhooshanacharyulu during idol installation and was very jealous on him as ramakrishnayya was respecting the sculptor and feliciating him.
Subbarayudu, Called 200 Niyogi & vaidic brahmins, from the near by villages to come to kolasapaadu on the day before prana prathishta.All the 200 niyogis came in to the temple and were standing infront of it. Sri Phani bhooshanachary, as the next day was the prana prathishta,was busy with the yagna yagadi homagundam preparation, and not looked at these huge crowd coming in to the temple. Ramakrishnayya,went to tte near by villages to invite his relatives for the vigraha pratishta.All the 200 niyogi & Vaidic brahmins rushed in to the temple.Chadavalada Venkaiah, a Vaidic Brahmin, Caught the neck of Phani bhooshanachary, and started pulling bhooshanachary’s yagnopaveetham forcibly, and said:::: bhooshanachary, you Vishwakarma,Never again dare to step in to any temple for doing the Vigraha Pratishta, Never do this mistake again by stepping in temple. Ikkada evaro oka brahmanuniki Tappudu tambulam ichhi tappu oppuko…….
bhooshanachary, who was in Shiva deeksha until the prana prathishta was helpless and got bewildered by looking at Subbarayudu, who was one among them.One of the Brahmin forcibly put the betal leaves, a sum of 5 rupees and some nuts, in bhooshanachary hands and asked to give the tappudu tambulam to Subbarayudu. Subbarayudu, He himself dragged the tambulam from bhooshanachary hands and started laughing at him. 200 brahmins teased Bhooshanachary and left the temple.
Some how, This news went to Ramakrishnayya wife, and she rushed to the temple. Bhooshanachary was seated on the floor, with his cloths torn, Sthanabramsha yagnopaveetha, and tears filled eyes. Ramakrishnayya wife fell at the legs of Bhooshanachary and asked for apologies, and she rushed to her husband and explained the humiliation to the sculptors done by the niyogi & vaidics along with subbarayudu
Ramakrishnayya roused to anger, went to te temple, Asked for aplogies to sculptor bhooshanachary. Oh lord, Acharyottama, Please forgive me. Please forgive the humiliation you faced at my village by my village brahmins and their relatives. I will teach a lesson to them. Please fogive me.

The brahmins started shivering by looking at the angry Ramakrishnayya and they told that it was Subbarayudu plan to degrade and humiliate the Vishwakarma sculptor. Subbarayudu and chadalavada venkaiah, Questioned the brahmatvam of Vishwakarmas, for doing the prana pratishta.
In the Debate, His Highness, Sri Phani bhooshanacharyulu, Showed the Vedic References, about Lord Vishwakarma, and pancha Brahma Gothra pravara, Pancha rishis vrutti and their arrogant mouths were shut. They accepted the Brahmanatvam of Vishwabrahmins and all the 200 brahmins feliciated the Vishwakarma sculptor phanibhooshanacharyulu.
Sri ramakrishnayya, ordered the brahmins to keep 10 rupees in betal leaves with nuts and take the Rettimpu tappudu tambulam From bhooshanachary towards the mistake done by them. Brahmins fell to bhooshanachary feet and took thhe tambulam.
