Thus, this translation is not a stanza by stanza translation. These three poets wrote Andhra Mahabharatham in Telugu literature style, but keeping the same exact essence as that of Sanskrit Mahabharatham<br /> <br /> == Nannaya — the Adi Kavi (the first poet) ==<br /> [[File:Nannaya Painting.jpg|thumb|Raja Rajanarendra commissioning Nannaya Battaraka to render Mahabharatha into Telugu.]]<br /> Nannayabhatta (1022–1063 CE – also referred to as Nannaya), started to translate the Sanskrit Mahabharata into Telugu on the request of the East Chalukya king [[Rajaraja Narendra]]. This marks the beginning of Telugu literature, which has yet been uncovered. This work has been interpreted in the Champu style and emotes such simplicity and polishing and of such high literary excellence, that several scholars do not dismiss the possibility of the existence of literary works in Telugu during the pre-Nannaya period.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> {{Works based on the Mahabharata |state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Telugu-language literature]]<br /> [[Category:Works based on the Mahabharata]]</div>
