PREFACE
Man experiments and acheives progress. The crea-
tive zeal in man does not permit him to remain static
and propels him to discover new things and tread
new avenues,
Telugu, a branch of Dravidian family, has enriched
itself by its intimate contact with Sanskrit. It's heavy
borrowing from that classical language made the erier
scholars misconceive that Telugu was a product of Sans-
krit. Earlier, poets used a diction . a hormonious blend
of Telugu and Sanskrit. But the later poets showed a
preference to such a heavily Samkritized diction that
some of the Telugu verses looked like Sanskrit slokas.
Ponnekanti Telagana who tasted the sweetness of Chaste
Telugu wondered how it would be if the whole work is
put in Chaste, unmixed Telugu His experiment 'Yayati
Charitra' became a great success, He, thus, became a
pioneer of a new genre of Telugu literature. One of the
prominent and well - known followers of Telagana was
Kuchimanchi Timma Kavi.
Of the 15 literary works, which Timmaya penned,
two poetic works were exclusively written in Chaste
Telugu one of them ii 'Ramayana'. The story of Rama
has been for ages a fascinating theme for writers
Timmaya has also faced the same problem that Telagana
VI
encountered. How should he put in the sanskritized
proper nouns? Should they also be Telugizcd? Some of
the followers of Telagana did it, making the work
unintelligible to readers But no, like Telagana he did
not like it. He accepted them as they were. The aim of
Timmaya as well has been to make his work intelligible
to readers and he did it admirably.
No research work worth the name is hither to
made as this genre of Telugu literature. Our friend,
Dr. K,V. Sundaracharyulu, did not want to follow the
beaten track He decided to tread a new path and
unravel the linguistic mysteries of Chaste Telugu works,
hitherto left unexplored being prejudiced by the popular
misconception that they were nothing but literary
gimmicks. He began with Timmaya'a 4Ramayana' for
M
his Phil degree and then launched as a full length
thesis as Chaste Telugu works for his Ph.D. This is
our friend Sundaracharyulu, different from others.
He is a great scholar in Telugu and Sanskrit, a good
critic and a good teacher, but above all he is a man; he
is not the scholar, but the man with scholarship and
erudition. That makes him different from others. He
has a way of life, a peculiar approach towards problems.
I wish him long life and hope he would pen some more
works with his individualistic imprint on them.
