He also wrote other works like Nītisāram and Nellaitiruppaṇi-mālai. Much more interesting is the anonymous ballad Rāmappayyan-ammānai, giving an account of the wars of a general of Tirumalai Nāyaka, which belongs to a class of works of which few specimens have survived. - [Previous: c19.s2.43](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.43) - [Next: c19.s3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s3.1) - [Up: c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.44) · Pramāṇa
