Muhammed Yusuf Khan surviving there as the people there were kindly disposed towards Yusuf Khan; he had once saved Alwarthirunagari, a few years previously, from a Dutch invasion. As per Maasa's last wish, and to maintain secrecy, Srinivasa Rao named the boy Mathuranayagam (which was the original Hindu name of Yusuf Khan) and brought him up in the Christian faith (Maasa was a Christian). Yusuf Khan's descendants later moved to Palayamkottai. The recorded history on Muhammed Yusuf Khan seem to end with the incident of his hanging and there is no or only sketchy data on what happened to his family, after that.
