Mahabharatam In Telugu Pdf

[Irma Tchakian]

Thereare many doubts about whether Mahabharata is the first work of poetry started by Nannaya in Telugu. Literary historians are of the opinion that all the mature poetry does not emerge at once, so there must have been some poems before that. However, no other writings have been found, except for references to songs and poems (Nannechodudu) and some verses found in inscriptions. So Nannaya was adored by the world of Telugu literature as the original poet. Prajnannaya Yugam Dwadasi Nageswara Sastry writes this in concluding the chapter[2] - "On the whole Telugu language literature existed before Nannaya. Oral literature was more prevalent. Edictal poetry was in use. Telugu language was good in public affairs. But scriptural language could not have been created. Conditions were suitable for such creation. No. It could be the reason for that is the familiarity with Sanskrit Prakrits.

Nannaya wrote Adi Parvam, Sabaparvam and a part of Aranyaparvam between 1054-1061 AD and passed away. Later in the 13th century, Tikkana left the remainder of Aranyaparvam and wrote 15 parvams from Virata Parvam to Svargarohana Parvam. After that in the 14th century, Errana Aranyaparva completed the remainder. Thus, these three poets of that age are worshiped by the Telugu poets as kavitrayam. This way, telugu people are fortunate to be able to read Andhra Mahabharatham, written by three poets - over a period of two and a half centuries, as a single book as if a single mahakavi has written it at a time. The Sanskrit Mahabharatha is famous for being a book of 100 parvas and having a breadth of 100,000 verses. Parvanukramanika told by Nannaya in Adi Parvam is also close to this point. There are hundred of main parvas and subparvas together. In it, Harivamsa Parvam is included in Bhavishya Parvam. Together these two are considered as an independent text called Khilavansa Purana. Nannaya does not include the Harivamsa in his genealogy. He arranges hundred parvas in his Ashtadasa Parva Vibhaktam. Upaparva section is not followed in Telugu. The Tikkanadus followed Nannaya's decision. Errana wrote the Harivamsa as a separate treatise. In this way, the Sanskrit Mahabharata of 100 subparvals was transformed into the Andhra Mahabharata of eighteen parvas in Telugu. It is divided into Asvasas in Telugu. The division can be seen in the following table. G.V. Published in 15 volumes as Kavitrayam Mahabharatam project - edited by Subrahmanyam. - 2008 Publication

Nrusimhapuranamu was his own independent work.[5] Erranna received his inspiration for the Nrusimhapuranam from his grandfather Errapotanna. According to tradition, one day when Erranna was meditating, his grandfather appeared and advised him to write the Narisimhapuranamu. This work was based on the Brahmandapuranamu and the Vishnupuranamu.

According to the Viṣṇu Purāṇa, King Hiraṇyakaśipu was the powerful demonic sovereign of the Earth millions of year ago at the beginning of the Yuga Cycle. The subjects of the Earth were described as Manavas ("descendants of Manu"; "humans"). The subjects of King Indra were described as Devatas. King Hiraṇyakaśipu fought a war with King Indra and, having emerged victorious, took over the heavenly planets. Under the rule of King Hiraṇyakaśipu, most of the Devatas either "converted to" or disguised themselves as Manavas for the fear of King Hiraṇyakaśipu. Another contemporary of King Hiraṇyakaśipu was also gate keeper of Śvetadvīpa, the Vaikuṇṭha planet in this universe, in a previous life, Śrī-hari who ruled in the Kṣīra-sāgara (the "Sea of Milk").
