"The Telugu version of the Bhagavat was written by Poturaju and is in the biggest esteem
with all the Telugus. It enjoys the highest popularity, as a masterpiece of beautiful and faultless
Telugu Verse. The Rukmini Kalyan, the Gajendra Moksham and other episodes selected from it
are excessively popular. A corrected edition was prepared at my expense in the year 1827. The
Telugu Bhagavat was printed in quarto at Madras in the year Kilaca, 1770, i.e., 1848 AP." - A
Dictionary of 'Telugu and English' Introduction - C.P. Brown.

For hunger, there is the village rice in the begging bowl

For thirst, there are tanks and streams and wells
For sleep temple ruins do well
For the company of the soul I have you, O! chenna Mallikarjuna!

- Sant Darshan (page 5)
