In my opinion this book can well be set down as a text-book for the students of the High School and Lower Secondary classes. The Dwipada style of cmoposi-tion is a compromise between the monotonous vachanam and the highly conventional Padya-Prabandham, and as such will very well meet the needs of the Telugu student population.
I am sorry I am not now in a position to give the reader any information regarding the author or the magnate in whose name the book is inscribed. In the subsequent volumes I hope to be able to place before them the results of my inquiries in this direction. For the present, I can with confidence say that the author belongs to a past decade and deserves a high place among Classic poets and should find a place in the library of every true lover of Telugu Literature.
