The latter, in Prabandha form, is far more faithful to its Sanskrit original than either Śrīnātha's \*Naishadha\* or Pina Virabhadra's \*Śākuntala\*. The \*Varāha Purāṇa\*, also a translation from Sanskrit, is dedicated to Tuluva Narasānāyaka. Peram Rāju Jakkana (1450) was the author of Vikramārka-carita narrating the stories centring round the legendary monarch of Ujjain. Other notable names are: Duggupalli Duggaya (1480), author of Naciketopākhyāna, Dūbaguṇṭa Nārāyaṇa (1470), author of Pañcatantra, Vennalakaṇṭi Sūranna (1460), author of Viṣṇupurāṇa, and Gaurana, author of Hariścandropākhyāna. - [Previous: c19.s4.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.17) - [Next: c19.s4.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.19) - [Up: c19.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4) ## Linked texts (8) - [Naiṣadhīyacarita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.kavya.mahakavya.bharata.naisadhiyacarita) — Śrīharṣa, Sanskrit - [Vikramārkacaritramu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.telugu.kavya.vikramarkacaritramu) — Jakkana, Telugu - [Prabōdhacandrōdayamu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.telugu.kavya.prabodhacandrodayamu) — Nandi Mallayya mariyu Ghaṇṭa Siṅgayya, Telugu - [Pañcatantra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.short_stories.pancatantra) — Viṣṇuśarman, Sanskrit - [Abhijñānaśākuntala](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.sakuntala) — Kālidāsa, Sanskrit - [Varāhapurāṇamu (Nandi Mallaya mariyu Ghaṇṭa Siṅgaya)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.telugu.kavya.varahapuranamu) — Nandi Mallaya mariyu Ghaṇṭa Siṅgaya, Telugu - [Viṣṇupurāṇamu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.telugu.kavya.visnupuranamu) — Vennelakaṇṭi Sūranna, Telugu - [Hariścandropākhyānamu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.telugu.kavya.hariscandropakhyanamu) — Gaurana, Telugu --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.18) · Pramāṇa
