According to the legends, Sri Sunama Jakini matha was born into Are katika community in Pinnepalli village in Anantapur district. She got married to Hanumanthakari Thanji Rao from Yadiki village at a very young age. She used to observe fasting very often and one day during her fasting she went unconscious. Her husband thought that she is dead and ordered to bury her. Her husband refused to pass on the message of her death to her family.

le preparing for burial, people found out that she is alive. However, Hanumanthakari Thanji Rao ordered to bury her under alcohol effect. In that sense Sunama matha has taken jeeva samadhi. When the family of Sunama matha came to know about the incident after few days, they came to the village and argued with Hanumanthakari Thanji.
