ఆ.వె: శక్తి భక్తి యుక్తి సరిగ నొక్కట గూడు ఘనమగుయ వధాన కళయె నేడు మూడుగా విడిబడి మూర్తులై నిలచెగా తెలుగుతల్లి కీర్తి తేజరిల్ల. కందము: అనసూయ కలిపి చూపెను కనగా నానాడు బ్రహ్మ, కరివరదు, హరున్ అ నసూయ మేడసానిని ఫణిశర్మను నేడు గరికి పాటిని కలిపెన్.
Why so much of discussion on which region a poet belonged to? Is it not a waste of time and a futile exercise? Potana is Potana and Srinatha is Srinatha and so on . The Trinity of poets who wrote Mahabharatam inTelugu hail from different places. Is it a matter for discussion? There were eight great Telugu poets (Ashta diggaja) in Sri Krishna Deva Raya's court in Vijayanagara empire (in Karnataka). Does our respect for those great poets vanish in any way because they were in a different state. They and many more poets and poetesses (Molla as an example) are God given gifts to us. I would like to conclude by saying that try to read, understand and enjoy and appreciate their works rather than giving importance to petty things like their place of birth, their caste, gender etc. Trust you will take my comments in right spirit. Thank you.
