Contents. Early life Pothana was born at Bammera Village, in Jangaon Dist of Present Telangana state. His father was Kesanna and his mother Lakkamma. He was considered to be a natural Poet (Sahaja Kavi), needing no teacher.
He was known to be very polite and was an agriculturist by occupation. Though he was a great scholar, he never hesitated to work in the agricultural fields. Literary career At an early age he wrote Bhogini Dhandakam a poem wrote in praise of king Sri Singa Bhoopala’s concubine Bhogini.
This was his first poetic venture which had the seeds of his great poetic talents. Bhogini Dhandakam is the earliest available Dhandaka (rhapsody which uses the same gana or foot all through) in. His second work was Virabhadhra Vijayamu which describes the adventures of Lord Virabhadhra, element of Lord Shiva. The main theme was the destruction of daksha yagna performed in absence of Lord Shiva by Daksha Prajapathi. As a young man, he was a devotee of Lord Shiva. Later, Pothana became a devotee of Lord Rama and more interested in salvation.

In the view of Pothana there is no difference between Shiva and Vishnu and the same was reflected in his Padyam 'ChethuLAranga Shivuni Poojimpadeni Nooru Novvanga hari keerthi salupadeeni dhayanu satyamulonuga thalupadeni kaluganetiki thallula kadupuchetu'.One early morning during a lunar eclipse, on the banks of river Godavari, Pothana was meditating on Lord Shiva. At that auspicious moment, Supreme Lord Rama appeared dressed like a king and requested Pothana to translate Bhagavatam into Telugu(Andhramu) and dedicate it to Him.
This inspired him to translate Vyasa’s Sanskrit Bhagavatam into Andhra Maha Bhaagavatamu. Persecution The Padma Nayaka king of,(Nalgonda District) wanted Pothana to dedicate ‘Andhra Maha Bhagavatam’ to him. The king himself is a scholar and wrote many works including Rudranavasudhakara, a well known drama.
But, Pothana refused to obey the king’s orders and dedicated the Bhagavatamu to Lord Rama, whom he worshiped with great devotion. It is said that Pothana remarked, ‘It is better to dedicate the work to the supreme Lord Vishnu than dedicate it to the mortal kings.’ He was of opinion that poetry was a divine gift and it should be utilized for salvation by devoting it to the God. It is known that Pothana was patronized by this king in his early career, Pothana dedicated his first great work to this king, the king himself was a scholar, his contemporary reputation was immense (vide Srinatha's poems). It was common practice for many poets of the time to dedicate their devotional works to God himself and not necessarily to their patron-kings.
The poem containing the derision against the ' Karanata Kiraata Keechakulu' is a chatuvu (apocryphal) attributed to Pothana with no proof that he actually wrote it. Even if he did, it is unclear who the Karanata villains were, very likely the rulers of Karnaata Samrajyam (the contemporary term for the Vijayanagar empire) who were raiding Rachakonda at the time. The Rachakonda kingdom was under intense turmoil at the time, under attack by the Bahamani's from the west, Karanata (Vijayanagar) empire from the south and the Reddy Rajas from the east. Rachakonda and its king ceased to exist by the mid-15th century, absorbed into the.
There is yet another version about his birthplace. He indicated at one stanza that he belonged to 'Ekasila Nagaram', meaning single stone city which is located in Kadapa(YSR) district, and that place is considered to be the 'Ontimitta' or 'Vontimitta' village which semantically means the same thing and where a great temple dedicated to Kodanda Rama Swamy is located. A poem of Pothana unwilling to dedicate his works to local kings was inscribed on the pedastal of god Rama's statue in the.
Style He was quite fond of using rhythm and repetition of sounds giving a majestic grace to the style of writing. He was very skillful in using alankaras (figures of speech) like similes and metaphors. Pothana imparted the knowledge of the divine to the Telugu people along with lessons in ethics and politics through Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu. He lived for sixty years. Significance Even illiterate Telugus readily quote verses from chapters ' and ' Charitra of his work, ‘Andhra Maha Bhagavatamu,’ the crown jewel of Telugu literature.
God's writing ala vaikuMThapuraMbulO nagarilO nAmUla soudhaMbu dApala. This is a verse which describes the palace of Lord Vishnu in his divine abode (VAIKUNTHA), at the time the elephant king prayed for the Lord's kindness to deliver him out of the deadly grip of crocodile in a lake.
The story goes that Pothana wrote the first line of the verse, but could not continue (because he did not know how vaikuntha looks!). So he paused the writing at that point, and went to farm (he was a cultivator by profession). When he came back in the evening, he saw the verse completed. He enquired his daughter about who wrote the other three lines. The daughter replied – 'You yourself came in the afternoon and wrote some thing!' So Pothana understood that Lord Sri Rama himself came and completed the verse. In fact, Pothana himself ascribed in the following poem, the purpose of his writing the Bhagavatam: పలికెడిది భాగవతమట పలికించెడి వాడు రామభధృండట నే పలికిన భవహర మగునట పలికెద వేరొండు గాథ పలుకగనేల PalikeDidhi Bhagavatamata Palikinchedivadu Ramabhadrundata Ne Palikina Bhavaharamagunata PalikedaVerondu Gaatha PalukagaNela Translated it means: 'That which is spoken is the Bhagavatam and the one who made me speak/chant this is Lord Rama.
The result of chanting this (Bhagavatamata) is ultimate freedom, the Liberation of soul. So, let me sing it, since there is no other story better than this (Bhagavatam).'

Approximate translation: A honeybee reveling in the honey-sweetness of Hibiscus, would he seek grass flowers? A royal swan swaying in the pure breezes of the, would he go to the oceans? A nightingale relishing the juices of smooth young leaflets, will he approach rough leaves? A chakora bird blossoming in the moonlight of a full moon, would he go to dark places with thick fog? Minds attention on the lotus-wearer's (God's) divine lotus-feet, a heightened headiness brought on by that nectar-like contemplation In what way will it learn to seek another? Listen good one, what is the point of discussing (it's obvious)? Following is the first verse in his - The book that explains the nature of the God.
