Telugu literature is the body of works written in the

Nannaya. The language has experienced a golden age under the patronage of the Vijayanagara Emperor-Poet Krishnadevaraya
.

Historiography

There are various sources available for information on early Telugu writers. Among these are the prologues to their poems, which followed the Sanskrit model by customarily giving a brief description of the writer, a history of the king to whom the book is dedicated, and a chronological list of the books he published. In addition, historical information is available from inscriptions that can be correlated with the poems; there are several grammars, treatises, and anthologies that provide illustrative stanzas; and there is also information available from the lives of the poets and the traditions that they followed.[1]

Subject matter

Early Telugu literature is predominantly religious in subject matter. Poets and scholars drew most of their material from, and spent most of their time translating epics, such as the

Purāṇas, all of which are considered to be storehouses of Indian culture.[2]

From the sixteenth century onwards, rarely known episodes from the Purāṇas would form the basis for the tradition of Telugu-language

kavya. Literary works are drawn from episodes of the Purāṇas under the name Akhyana or Khanda became popular along with depictions of the fortune of a single hero under the title of Charitra, Vijaya, Vilasa and Abhyudaya. Such titles are examples of what would become the most common subject matter of poetry.[2]

In the eighteenth-century, marriages of heroes under the title Parinaya, Kalyana and Vivāha became popular.[2]

Religious literature consisted of biographies of the founders of religion, their teachings, sāra, as well as commentaries, bhashya.[2]

Traditional Hindu knowledge systems such as

aphorisms, and Bhakti (devotional psalms) to deities within the Hindu pantheon are characteristics of more popular works of Telugu literature.[2]

Forms

The various forms of literature found in Telugu are:

Ashtadiggajas have written in all three of the Prabandham genres during the Prabandha yugam.[5]

Telugu literature uses a unique expression in verse called

Uttara Ramayana entirely in verse [6]

As Champu Kavyas and Prabandhas were beyond the comprehension of masses, new devices for the dissemination of knowledge among the people were developed in the form of the Dvipada and

Sataka styles. Dvipada means 'two feet'—a couplet— and sataka means 'hundred'—signifying a cento of verses).[7]
Popular satakas include: the Sarveshvara, Kalahastishvara, and Dasarathi satakas.

There are some satakas which are divided into ten groups of ten verses called dasaka which is adopted from Prakrit.[8]

Avadhanam is a literary performance popular from the very ancient days in Sanskrit and more so in Telugu and Kannada languages.[4] It requires a good memory and tests a person's capability of performing multiple tasks simultaneously.[4] All the tasks are memory intensive and demand an in-depth knowledge of literature, and prosody. The number of Prucchakas can be eight (for Ashtavadhanam) or 100 (Sataavadhaanam) or even 1,000 (for Sahasravadhanam). A person who has successfully performed Ashtavadhanam is called Ashtavadhani, one completing Satavadhanam is a Satavadhani, and after performing Sahasraavadhaanam is called Sahasravadhani.[4]

Dwipada

A dwipada is a couplet with a specific rhyme scheme.

Tanjore. Dwipada's accessibility has sometimes meant it was not a prestigious form of Telugu poetry. In the 19th century, scholar Charles Philip Brown noted "the learned despise couplets because the poems thus written are in a flowing easy style which uneducated persons read with enjoyment."[10] Only a few writers today use it out of lingering respect its history.[9]

Padam

Padams are lyric poems usually meant to be sung, with an opening line or lines called a pallavi, followed by three caranam verses, each of which is followed by the pallavi refrain.[11] The padam is thus "a highly integrated, internally resonant syntactic and thematic unit."[11] Annamacharya, the most famous composer of Telugu padams, is said to have composed a padam a day for the god of the Tirupati temple, Venkateswara. His poems, of which 13,000 survive on copper plates stored in the temple vaults, deal with the "infinite varieties and nuances of the god’s love life" and "his sense of himself as an agonized, turbulent human being in relation to the god he worships".[11]

Chatu

Chatus (meaning "charming utterance") are remembered poems passed on by recitation.[12] In premodern South India, literate people recited chatus to each other as a social pastime.[12] Most of these poems have memorable stories that go along with them that explain and contextualize them. They have passed through a lively oral tradition for hundreds of years, and been anthologized since the 19th century by scholars like Veturi Prabhakara Sastri.[12] Many chatus are attributed to Srinatha, Tenali Ramalingadu, and other famous poets. These attributions, most of which are unverifiable, serve to make both mythologize these poets and judge their relative merit. Once made legends, they're free to interact anachronistically in chatus. Poets from different eras meet, exchange poems, and critique each other.[12] In sum, chatus, "moving from gnomic advice to metalinguistic criticism, through the domains of desire, social commentary, the articulation of cultural values, and critical taste, these interlocking stanzas embody an entire education, an expressive vision of life and poetry."[12]

Satakamu

A satakamu literally means "an anthology of a hundred poems", but the number is usually somewhat higher, often an auspicious number like 108.[13] The anthology is meant to be taken together. A list of notable such anthologies:

Poetics

The Praudha Prabandha or Maha

Kavya is considered[by whom?
] the highest form of verse. The essentials of such a composition according to the Telugu poetic theory are:

Early writers

The Pre-Nannayya Period (before 1020 AD)

In the earliest period, Telugu literature existed in the form of inscriptions, from around 400 BC[citation needed]

The 6th- or 7th-century Sanskrit text Janashrayi-Chhandovichiti (or Janāśraya-chandas) deals with the metres used in Telugu, including some metres that are not found in Sanskrit prosody. This indicates that Telugu poetry existed during or around the 6th century.[14]

Malliya Rechana

Malliya Rechana (940 CE) composed the first Telugu poetic prosody book Kavijanasrayam (pre-Nannayya chandassu) around 940 AD. This was a popular one and referred by many poets. There seems to be even an earlier prosody book by Rechana's guru Vaadindra Chudamani which is not available.[15][16][17]

Veturi Prabhakara Sastry in 1900s mentioned the existence of Pre-Nannayya Chandassu in Raja Raja Narendra Pattabhisheka Sanchika.[17] Accurate dating of this piece of literature happened after the 1980s discoveries in Karimnagar.[18][15][19]

The Age of the Purāṇas (1020–1400 CE)

This is the period of

Kavi Trayam or Trinity of Poets. Nannayya, Tikkana and Yerrapragada
(or Errana) are known as the Kavi Trayam.

Nannaya Bhattarakudu, the Adi Kavi

Mahābhārata epic, which is rendered in the Champu style.[24][25]

Tikkana Somayaji

Nannaya's Andhra Mahabharatam was almost completed by Tikkana Somayaji (Telugu: తిక్కన సోమయాజి; 1205–1288 CE) who wrote chapters 4 to 18.[citation needed]

Errapragada

Errapragada (

Tikkana Somayaji, Marana; the Dasakumara Charita, by Ketana; and Yerrapragada's Harivamsam followed. Many scientific works, like Ganitasarasangrahamu by Pavuluri Mallana and Prakirnaganitamu by Eluganti Peddana, were written in the 12th century.[26][page needed
]

Baddena Bhupala

Sumati Shatakam, which is a neeti ("moral"), is one of the most famous Telugu

C. P. Brown rendered it in English in the 1840s.[citation needed
]

The Prabandha Period (1400–1600 CE)

Srinatha

Srinatha (Telugu: శ్రీనాథుడు) (1365–1441) popularised the Prabandha style of composition.[27] He was a minister in the court of Pedakomati Vemareddy of Kondaveedu[citation needed] and wrote Salivahana Saptasati, Shivaratri Mahatyam, Harivilasa, Bhimakanda, Kashi khandam, Shringara Naishadham, Palanati Veera charitra, Dhananjaya Vijayam, Sringara Dipika. These works were concerned with history and mythology.[citation needed] Srinatha's Srungara Naishadhamu is a well-known example of the form.[27] Srinatha was widely regarded as the Kavi Sarvabhowma ("the emperor among poets").[citation needed]

Vemana

Kumaragiri Vema Reddy (Telugu: వేమన), popularly known as Yogi Vemana, was a 14th-century Telugu poet.[28] His poems were written in the popular vernacular of Telugu, and are known for their use of simple language and native idioms.[citation needed] His poems discuss the subjects of Yoga, wisdom and morality.[citation needed] There is no consensus among scholars about the period in which Vemana lived. C.P. Brown, known for his research on Vemana, estimates the year of birth to be the year 1352 based on some of his verses.[citation needed] His poems are four lines in length. The fourth line is, in the majority of the cases, the chorus Viswadhabhirama Vinura Vema – he thus conveyed his message with three small lines written in a simple vernacular.[citation needed] He traveled widely across south India, acquiring popularity as a poet and Yogi.[citation needed] So high was the regard for Vemana that a popular Telugu saying goes 'Vemana's word is the word of the Vedas'.[citation needed] He is celebrated for his style of Chaatu padyam, a poem with a hidden meaning.[citation needed] Many lines of Vemana's poems are now colloquial phrases of the Telugu language.[citation needed] They end with the signature line Viswadhaabhi Raama, Vinura Vema, literally Beloved of Viswadha, listen Vema. There are many interpretations of what the last line signifies.[citation needed]

Bammera Potanaamatya

Bammera Potanaamatya (Telugu: బమ్మెర పోతన) (1450–1510) is best known for his translation of the Bhagavata Purana from Sanskrit to Telugu.[citation needed] His work, Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu. He was born into a Brahmin family and was considered to be a Sahaja Kavi ("natural poet") who needed no teacher. He wrote Bhogini Dandakam a poem praising king Singa Bhoopala's consort danseuse, Bhogini, while young. This is the earliest available Telugu Dandaka (a rhapsody which uses the same gana or foot throughout).[26][page needed] His second work was Virabhadra Vijayamu which describes the adventures of Virabhadra, son of Shiva.[citation needed] As a young man, he was a devotee of Shiva and also Rama and was more interested in salvation, from which came the inspiration to translate the Bhagavata Purāṇas.[citation needed
]

Annamacharya

Tallapaka Annamacharya (or Annamayya) (Telugu: శ్రీ తాళ్ళపాక అన్నమాచార్య) (9 May 1408 – 23 February 1503) is known as the Pada-kavita Pitaamaha of the Telugu language.[29] He was born to a Vaidiki Brahmin family and his works are considered to have dominated and influenced the structure of Carnatic music compositions.[citation needed] Annamacharya is said to have composed as many as 32,000 sankeertanas (songs) on Bhagwaan Govinda Venkateswara,[30] of which only about 12,000 are available today. His keertana compositions are based on the Vishishtadvaita school of thought.[citation needed] Annamayya was educated in this system of Ramanuja by Sri Satagopa Yateendra of the Ahobila matham.[citation needed]

Tallapaka Tirumalamma

Tallapaka Tirumalamma (Telugu: తాళ్ళపాక తిరుమలమ్మ) (Annamacharya's wife)[31] wrote Subhadra Kalyanam, and is considered the first female poet in Telugu literature.[by whom?] Her main work, Subhadra Kalyanam, which consists of 1170 poems, is about the marriage of Arjuna and Subhadra, who are characters that appear in the Mahabharata. She presented the Telugu nativity and culture in the story taken from Sanskrit epic.[citation needed]

Allasani Peddana

Anantapur.[citation needed
] Allasani Peddana wrote the first major Prabandha and for this reason he is revered as Andhra Kavita Pitamaha ("the grand father of Telugu poetry").[
Tapasya. In the Himalayas Varudhini, a Gandharva girl, falls in love with him, but Pravarakyudu rejects her love. Knowing this a Gandharva youth who was earlier rejected by Varudhini assumes the form of Pravarakhya and succeeds to win her love. To them is born Svarochisha, the father of Svarochishamanu.[26][page needed] The theme for his Manu Charitra is a short story from Markandeya Purana. It is about second Manu of fourteen manus (fathers of mankind societies according to Hindu mythology), translated into Telugu from Sanskrit by Marana (1291–1323),[citation needed
] disciple of Tikkana. The original story was around 150 poems and Peddana extended into six chapters with 600 poems by adding fiction and descriptions.

His work was treated as one of the Pancha Kavyas, the five best works in Telugu. Some of his other famous works such as Harikathaasaaramu are untraceable now.[citation needed]

Dhurjati

Sri Kalahasti and was the grandson of Jakkayya.[citation needed] His works include Sri Kalahasteeswara Mahatyam (The grace or miracles of Lord Shiva) and Sri Kalahasteeswara Satakam (100+ poems in the praise of Lord Shiva). Dhurjati took themes from Purāṇas and added local stories and myths in his work.[citation needed] Unlike contemporaries such as Peddana and Mallana, who chose the stories of kings, he chose devotion as his theme.[citation needed] Krishnadevaraya praised Dhurjati, saying "Stuti mati yaina Andhrakavi Dhurjati palkulakelagalgeno yetulita madhuri mahima...." (How is Dhurjati's poetry so immeasurably beautiful).[32] He was known as Pedda Dhurjati ("Elder Dhurjati") as there were four other people from the same family line who went by the name of Dhurjati during the same period and after him.[citation needed] His grandson Venkataraya Dhurjati, wrote Indumati Parinayam ("Marriage of Indumati"), a story from Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa
.

Kshetrayya

Veena Dhanammal and T. Brinda

Kaluve Veera Raju

A prose translation by Kaluve Veera Raju which appeared hundred years later (ca 1700) had good success. He was the army chief under Chikka Deva Raya (1672-1704) of the Mysore Kingdom.[42] [43]

Kancherla Gopanna

Kancherla Gopanna (Telugu: కంచెర్ల గోపన్న; c. 1620 – c. 1680 CE), popularly known as Bhadradri Ramadasu or Bhadrachala Ramadasu (Telugu: భద్రాచల రామదాసు), was a 17th-century Indian devotee of Rama and a composer of Carnatic music.[44] He is one among the famous vaggeyakaras (same person being the writer and composer of a song) in the Telugu language. His devotional lyrics to Rama are famous in South Indian classical music as Ramadaasu Keertanalu. Even the doyen of South Indian classical music Saint Thyagaraja learned and later improved the style now considered standard kriti form of music composition.

Tyagaraja

Tanjore composed devotional songs in Telugu, which form a big part of the repertoire of Carnatic music. In addition to nearly 600 compositions (kritis), Tyagaraja composed two musical plays in Telugu, the Prahalada Bhakti Vijayam and the Nauka Charitam. Prahlada Bhakti Vijayam is in five acts with 45 kritis set in 28 ragas and 138 verses, in different metres in Telugu. Nauka Charitam is a shorter play in one act with 21 kritis set in 13 ragas and 43 verses. The latter is the most popular of Tyagaraja's operas, and is a creation of the composer's own imagination and has no basis in the Bhagavata Purāṇa. Often overlooked is the fact that Tyagaraja's works are some of the best and most beautiful literary expressions in Telugu language.[citation needed] Valmiki composed the Ramayana, the story of Rama, with 24,000 verses and also composed 24,000 kritis in praise of the lord.[citation needed
]

Other notable works of Chinnayasuri include Neeti Chandrika, Sootandhra Vyaakaranamu, Andhra Dhatumoola and Neeti Sangrahamu. Chinnayasuri translated Mitra Labham and Mitra Bhedam from the Sanskrit Panchatantra as Neeti Chandrika. Kandukuri Veeresalingam and Kokkonda Venkata Ratnam Pantulu followed his style of prose writing and wrote Vigrahamu and Sandhi in a different pattern.[clarification needed]

Modern Period

Modern Asian literature

The period of Modern Telugu Poetry began with

Devulapalli Krishna Sastri. Gurajada's attempt to reform Telugu poetry by shedding old rules and styles reached a zenith with Sri Sri
. SriSri's famous work "Maha Prastanam" is an instant hit with every corners of society. Many writers followed his style and continue to enrich the literature.

Contemporary poets

Kandukuri Veeresalingam

Keshab Chandra Sen. Veereshalingam Panthulu is popularly called Gadya Tikkana.[45] He wrote about 100 books between 1869 and 1919 and introduced the essay, biography, autobiography and the novel into Telugu literature.[45] His Satyavati Charitam was the first social novel in Telugu.[45] He wrote Rajashekhara Charitamu inspired by Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefied. To him literature was an instrument to fight social evils.[45]

Acharya Rayaprolu Subba Rao

Rayaprolu Subba Rao (1892–1984) was among the pioneers of modern Telugu literature.[46] He is known as Abhinava Nannaya.[citation needed] He was recipient of Sahitya Akademi Award to Telugu Writers for his poetic work Misra Manjari in 1965. He was inspired by the Western literary movement and brought romanticism into Telugu literature by breaking away from the traditional translations of Sanskrit literature.Subbarayudu.[46] He introduced the concept of Amalina Shringara Tatvamu[further explanation needed] into Telugu literature.

One patriotic verse by Subba Rao, "Edesamegina Endukalidina" (also known as "Janmabhumi"), is a perennial favourite, being regularly sung and recited. It was particularly popular for public events in the pre-Independence Andhra region. The verse has been adapted many times into song for use in Telugu films.[47]

Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna

East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh state.[49]
Dr Balamuralikrishna has composed over 400 compositions in various languages like Telugu and Sanskrit. His compositions range from Devotional to Varnams, Kirtis, Javalis, and Thillans. His greatest achievement is the compositions in all the fundamental 72 melakarta ragas.

Aatreya

Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. His pen name is based on their family Gotra. Known for his poetry on the human soul and heart, he was given the title 'Manasu Kavi'(Poet of Heart), which can be rewritten as 'Mana Su Kavi'(Our Good Poet). His poetry is philosophical and intellectually satisfying.[citation needed
]

Tripuraneni Ramaswamy

Tripuranēni Rāmasvāmi (15 January 1887 – 16 January 1943) was a lawyer, famous poet, playwright and reformer active among the Telugu-speaking people. Popularly known as Kaviraju, he is considered the first poet to introduce rationalism and humanism into Telugu poetry and literature. Ramaswamy chose literary writing as the vehicle for expressing his rationalist thoughts. His famous work 'Sutaparanam' in four cantos was a fierce attack on the ancient Purāṇas, he has attained the state of excellence in poetic and literary criticism. His poetic work "Kuppuswamy Satakam" reveals the theme of social revolution and talks about social evils, blind faith, and indignity to man. He was against Congress and its fight against independence. In his other works such as "Sambhukavadha", "Suthashrama geetaalu', 'Dhoorta maanava', 'Khooni', 'Bhagavadgita', 'Rana Pratap' and 'Kondaveeti patanam', he made a rational analysis of dogmas prescribed by ancient classics and the injustice these dogmas did to people belonging to the lower social orders. Moreover, he attacked discriminatory practices and fought against the idea of untouchability. Sambhuka Vadha created a lot of controversies. Sambhuka was a character who did tapas to go heaven with the live body before death. That was considered as adharma and was killed by Lord Rama. This story was interpreted that Brahmins do not like doing tapas by non-Brahmins, which is why Sabhuka was killed.

Modern platforms

Growing Internet use in India[51] led to the birth of online platforms that bring Telugu writers closer to more readers. Kadachepta, Pratilipi, SuKatha (SuKatha is a Hindi story reading platform along with Telugu) and Kahaniya are prominent among the new platforms.

  • Ismail Award – Established in 2005, the award is given every year for a poet's debut book.
  • CP Brown Award – Given every year to translators or others have worked to promote the Telugu language.
