Re: [racchabanda] desa bhashalandu telugu lessa
Srikanth Bandi
interesting.
Is there any evidence on what is meant by 'dESa' in these poems?
Krishna devaraya's empire was primarily Southern. Probably he was not
referring to north India at all. In his region Telugu might very well have
been the most spoken language, making the statement a truism in a sense.
More over as an emperor he was likely to refer to dESa-s (i.e. nations)
contained within his empire, rather than a dESa containing his.

Indian Diaspora
in Malaysia long back.
I came across tow poems with line " desa bhasha landu telugu lessa" by
Sreenatha and Krishnadevaraya. Until I saw these two, I was under an
impression that only Krishnadevaraya wrote the above line

Wish people go through the good, old TELUSA list archives and/or pay
attention to the pointers posted on this very list (just a week back)
:-).
Here are two more pointers.
1. re: parodies, a whole lot of jaruk Sastry's parodies were posted on
TELUSA by Varigonda Subbarao - once an active participant and now a
silent reader of this list.
2. re: authorship of జనని సంస్కృతంబు ..., rather the work
క్రీడాభిరామము - a parody, for a comprehensive and scholarly
dicussion, check the recent publication:
Ti: A lover's guide to Warangal - The kridabhiramamu by Vinukonda
Vallabharaya - A medieval Telugu parodic verse-play
translated by
Au:Velcheru Narayanarao and David Shulman
PU: Permanent Black
PP: Delhi
PY: 2002
ISBN: 81-7824-029-7
Regards,
Sreenivas
P.S. History-buffs may also like to check Prof. Phil Wagoner's lengthy
afterword to the above mentioned monograph: "A dense epitome of the
world: The images of Warangal in the _kriid.aabhiraamamu_" .
