Syama Sastri had a son named Subbaraya
Sastri (1803–1862), who reportedly learnt
music under each of the Carnatic music
Trinity; this was considered, a rare
privilege. His kritis, with the signature
'Kumara', are treated as dispositive
references for those ragas in which they
were composed. Syama Sastri's adopted
grandson, Annasvami Shastri (1827–
1900), was also a fine composer.
