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.

Dear Patrick,

Ñāṇavaciṭṭam is a 16th-century Tamil version of the Laghu-Yogavāsiṣṭha. Ofer Peres from the Hebrew University has been working on this text.

Best regards,

I have received a query from a scholar not on this list about translations of Sanskrit texts into other Indian languages in the medieval period, say pre- 17th century. If any of you know such translations, I’d be delighted to get some information on them.

With thanks and best wishes,

Patrick Olivelle
