[INDOLOGY] Translations

[Nagaraj Paturi]

Majority of the classical Telugu literary works from the beginning i.e.,
from the 11th century  upto the 16th century are translations  rather
transcreations from Sanskrit only.

Transcreations from Sanskrit  continued even 16th century onwards alongside
independent Telugu narrative poems. Majority of these  independent Telugu
narrative poems which started with Manucharitramu translated into English
by  Profs Velcheru Narayana Rao and David Shulman borrowed the stories from
the Puranic sources just the way the Sanskrit Kavyas which were
transcreated into Telugu borrowed. A few narrative poems like
Kalapurnodayamu translated by Profs Velcheru Narayana Rao and David Shulman
into English as  "The Sound of Kiss " had the story created independently.

As such, we have a very big number of transcreations from Sanskrit into
Telugu.
