The seventh king of the empire, <a href="/wiki/Vijaya_Raghunatha_Sethupathi" class="mw-redirect" title="Vijaya Raghunatha Sethupathi">Vijaya Raghunatha Sethupathi</a> (also called Kelvan Sethupathy) ruled from 1674 to 1710 and was succeeded by his sister's son Vijaya Ragunatha Sethupathy. He was succeeded by his son-in-law Sundareswara Ragunatha Sethupathy in 1726. Bavani Sankara Thevan, the illegitimate son of Ragunatha Sethupathy, aligned with the Rajah of Tanjore to attack Ramnad. Though Bavani won, he did not honor the earlier decision to cede some portions of the empire to the King of Tanjore. He quarreled with Sasivarna Periya Oodaya Thevar and sent him out of his province. Both Sasivarna and Kattaya Thevar, the brother of Sundareswara, aligned with the Rajah of Tanjore. Both of them conquered Bavani in 1730 with the help of the army of Tanjore. Kattaya Thevar divided the kingdom into five provinces and gave two to Sasivarna, who became the first king of Sivaganga. </p><p>As per legend, Sasivarna built the Teppakulam and fort around the spring "Sivaganga", where he met his spiritual guru Sathappan Servai.<sup id="cite_ref-Kamaal_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kamaal-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As per another account, Sasivarna was appointed as the king by the <a href="/wiki/Nawab_of_Carnatic" class="mw-redirect" title="Nawab of Carnatic">Nawab of Carnatic</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Sasivarna died at around 1750 and his son Muthuvaduganatha Periya Udaya Thevar took over the reign.
