Sarabhayya on Srinatha
from శ్రీరాగం Hosted by chinaveerabhadrudu Vadrevu
This is an extemporaneous talk delivered bySri Mallampalli Sarabhayya at a 1985 national seminar in Narsapur, focusing on the influence of Sanskrit poets on Srinatha. The lecture traces the deep intertextual connections between Sanskrit masters like Kalidasa, Bhavabhuti, Mayura, and Sriharsha, and Telugu poets—most notably Srinatha and the Prabandha poets who succeeded him. It stands as a powerful testament to classical scholarship and reflects the ecstasy of a sahrudaya (connoisseur) fully immersed in the beauty of poetry. Furthermore, it preserves the distinct, expressive style in which slokas and verses were recited by scholars of a bygone era. This is a literary treasure that every enthusiast will cherish and want to preserve.
