Kona Buddharāja, a feudatory of Kākatīya Pratāparudra II, produced the Ranganātha Rāmāyaṇa in dvipada metre, a work of great simplicity and sweetness and full of apt similes. Ranganātha's relation to the poem is by no means clear; either he was a court poet or possibly the guru of the king who dedicated the poem to him. Buddharāja's sons are said to have completed it by adding the Uttara-Rāmāyaṇa. The other translation is a Campū by Hullakki Bhāskara and his pupils dedicated to a Sāhinimāra, whose identity is not settled beyond dispute. - [Previous: c19.s4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.10) - [Next: c19.s4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.12) - [Up: c19.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4) ## Linked texts (1) - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.11) · Pramāṇa
