The work entitled Kridabhiramam was written by Srinatha, one of the greatest of the Telugu poe4ts. It is characterised by all those poetic qualities associated with the writings of that prince among poets. But there are in it a very large number of verses which are against the ordinary cannons of decency and good taste and are evidently obscene. On this ground objection may be raised to its publication. It has however to be noted that the book throws a flood of light on social conditions in the great Kingdom of Telingana under Prataparudra; and as such its value to students of research and historians is immense. There is no other book which has a similar value to historical scholars. On this ground it deserves publication provided that steps are taken to limit its circulation among scholars only. I am strongly of opinion that no obstacles should be placed in the way of its being published.
