The 16th century was the golden age in the history of Tamil literature, thanks to the king Krishna Deva Raya.

He had in his court the Ashtadiggajas (literal: eight elephants), who were the greatest of poets of the times. Telugu Books The first printed Telugu book was out in 1796. Young men acquainted with English literature tried to imitate Shelly, Keats and Wordsworth, and a new type of romantic poetry called the Bhavakavithwa was born. Bengali novelists like Rabindranath Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Ramesh Chandra Dutta were a major influence on modern Telugu fiction.

  • 6 Indian Languages and Literature-I
    www.educatererindia.com Gautam Singh Hospitality Trainer 6 INDIAN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE-I Sagar and Sameer went to Andaman and Nicobar Islands for a holiday. They had a very good time out there playing in the sea and seeing so many small islands. But they faced some problems also. They could not understand the language which the local people were speaking. As a result they missed out on many things the tribals would have told them about themselves. From this you can understand the importance of language. Language is a medium through which we express our thoughts while literature is a mirror that reflects ideas and philosophies which govern our society. Hence, to know any particular culture and its tradition it is very important that we understand the evolution of its language and the various forms of literature like poetry, drama and religious and non-religious writings. This lesson talks about the role played by different languages in creating the composite cultural heritage that characterizes our country, India. OBJECTIVES After reading this lesson you will be able to : examine the rich literary heritage of India; develop an awareness of the variety of languages and literature in India; list the different kinds of languages and literature in India; appreciate the diversity and the underlying unity among the languages and literature of India; and recognize the important contribution of India to world literature. 6.1 INDIAN LANGUAGES: THE ROLE OF SANSKRIT Ever since human beings have invented scripts, writing has reflected the culture, lifestyle, society and the polity of contemporary society. In the process, each culture evolved its own language and created a huge literary base.

  • The Literary Contribution of Allasani Peddana at Vijayanagara Empire
    © 2019 IJRAR December 2019, Volume 6, Issue 4 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) The Literary Contribution of Allasani Peddana at Vijayanagara Empire *Dr. Somanatha.C.H, Asst Professor of History, Govt First Grade College, Kurugodu. Abstract This paper aims at studying the contributions of Allasani Peddana to Telugu literature and the patronage provided by Vijaynagar empire. Vijayanagara ruler Krishnadevaraya’s reign was a glorious era especially for the Telugu literature. Till 1500, Telugu literature mainly consisted of the translations; Telugu authors borrowed theme, substance and details from the Sanskrit literature and translated it. Under Krishnadevaraya’s guidance and patronage the practice of translating old Sanskrit literature was given- up and writing in Prabandha style and narrating Puranic and other independent stories came in vogue. This period is also known as Prabandh period or the romantic phase of the Telugu poetry. What is unique in Telugu literature of Krishnadevaraya’s time The compositions of this period usually have musical flow and rhythm. The plot was generally woven around obscure Puranic episodes and the chief interests of the author lied in presenting passing moods, and the passions of main characters. This marked the beginning of new era of freedom, creativity, and self-expression. This impetus to the Telugu Language, given by Krishnadevaraya, went far beyond his time. The Ashtadiggajas of Vijayanagara Empire Krishnadevaray’s court was adorned by Ashtadiggajas, the eight distinguished scholars of the time, similar to the nine gems of Vikramaditya’s court and the Navratnas of the Mughal emperor Akbar. The Ashtadiggagaja (Ashta + dik + gaja) as per Hindu mythology are the eight elephants that hold the earth in eight directions.

  • Surana Pingali (16Th Century)
    VEPACHEDU EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Mana Sanskriti (Our Culture) Chief Editor: Dr. Sreenivasarao Vepachedu, Esq. ________________________________________________________________________ Surana Pingali (16th Century) Surana was one of the ashtadiggajas of Srikrishnadevarayalu. He was from the village Pingali. Surana’s mother was Ambamaamba and father was Amarana. The line of descent is said to go back to the Vedic sage Gautama. The family genealogy in Prabhāvatī-pradyumnamu mentions, immediately after Gautama, an ancestor named Goka, a poet who composed a text in praise of Vishnu's sword. Surana was a Shaivite. Surana established the tradition of pun poems. A reader is advised to concentrate on one meaning of the work and later come back to re-read it for the second meaning. He set six principles for himself in writing such works: 1) to create the possibility of two meanings, 2) to break words in two different ways, 3) to exploit various meanings of a word, 4) to suggest a different to words with fixed meaning, 5) to exploit pun in interpretation, and 6) to exploit pun in the sound of a word. Thus, Surana’s poetry is characterized by a highly creative and meaningful use of pun in several different ways like pun-based metaphor, pun-based personification, pun-based irony, etc. His works include raaghavapaamdaveeyam, kalaapoornoadayamu, prabhaavateepradyumnamu, garudapuraanamu, girijaakalyaanamu, etc. Raaghavapaamdaveeyamu is a work of pun, in which he narrated the story of Ramayana and Mahabharata in one poem. According to Narayanarao Velcheru, “the kalaapoornoadayamu is a thoroughly “modern” work—a playful exploration of the limits of linguistic expressivity and of the ecology of available literary genres or forms; a complex psychologizing of the human mind; the elaborate working through of a plot that constantly twists and surprises the reader with its multiple perspectives and unconventional sensibility.
