Fearing penalty, he sought shelter. Later he paid the twelve thousand seven hundred coins to government taken from panchanam Varu. Then on Veera Raghava Shetti was named as Adipanasa. His duty was to go to Viswa Karma families and perform ritual duties such as narrating caste mythology and performing priestly rituals. For his services he was paid one Mada coin which had the value of one Rupee, every year. For Every marriage and vadugu (initiation ceremony), He was paid one Mada coin and a piece of cloth as honorarium. Nobody should insult him.
