'''Dhurjati''' (or '''ధూర్ఝటి''') (c. 15th and 16th centuries, [[Common Era|CE]]) was a [[Telugu language|Telugu]] [[poet]] in the [[noble court|court]] of the [[monarch|king]] [[Krishnadevaraya]] and was one of the ''[[astadiggajalu]]'' (Translated "Eight Mighty Elephants ") there.

==Biography==
He was born to Singamma and Narayana in [[Sri Kalahasti]] and was the grandson of Jakkayya. He was a great devotee of lord [[Shiva]], also known as ''Kalahasteeshwara.'' He referred to his birthplace as part of ''Pottapi Nadu'', named after an earlier [[Chola]] kingdom based from Pottapi in [[Cuddapah]] in his works.

==Works==
His works are to the praise of the God [[Shiva]]. His famous works include ''[[Sri Kalahasteeshwara Mahatyam]]'' (The grace/miracles of lord Shiva) and ''[[Sri Kalahasteeshwara Satakam]]'' (100+ poems in the praise of lord Shiva).

He was known as ''Pedda Dhurjati'' (Elder in Telugu) as there were four other people from the same family line who went by the name of Dhurjati during the same period and after him. His grandson ''Venkataraya Dhurjati'' wrote ''Indumati Parinayam'' (marriage of Indumati), a story from [[Kalidasa]]'s ''[[Raghuvamsa]]''.

He is also credited with many chatuvus, stand-alone extempore poems.

==Style==
Like other contemporaries during Prabandha period, he has taken themes from [[Purana]]s and added local stories and myths in his work. Unlike his contemporaries like Peddana and Mallana, who have chosen the stories of kings for their works, he choose devotion as the theme of his fiction.

[[Krishnadevaraya]] has praised Dhurjati in the following way ''"Stutimati yaina Andhrakavi Dhurjati palkulakelagalgeno yetulita madhuri mahima...."'' (How is Dhurjati's poetry so immeasurably beautiful).<ref>[http://www.textbooksonline.tn.nic.in/Books/09/Telugu/Poetry/6%20Cheladi%20Purugu.pdf Dhurajti] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410074949/http://www.textbooksonline.tn.nic.in/Books/09/Telugu/Poetry/6%20Cheladi%20Purugu.pdf |date=2009-04-10 }}</ref>
