===Style===
Two of his works were revolutionary in Telugu and the first of their kind. ''Kalapurnodayam'' is more of a novel than poetry and ''Raghava Pandaveeyam'' is in ''dvayarthi'' ([[double meaning]]) style.

''Kalapurnodayamu'' means full bloom of art. Surana used advanced literary techniques in Indian literature such as flashbacks and character transformation.
Each poem of ''Raghava Pandaveeyam'' references to the stories of [[Ramayanam]] or [[Mahabharatam]] simultaneously. The entire work is double entendre. His first work ''Garuda Puranam'' is in Prabandha style, popular for romantic poems.

==Awards and Titles==
* The critic [[Cattamanchi Ramalinga Reddy]] praised ''Kalapurnodayam'' as the best original book ever written in Telugu.
