Very interesting! Is SEshamu vEnkaTapati well-known? Are most of
his works revolutionary in the same sense as SaSaanka vijayamu or
in some other way? If so, it would be interesting to learn more
about his works. Probably only libraries carry his works???

No wonder his contemporaries were critical. Sure enough, as prabhaakar
gaaru said, even today this stuff is not much less controversial,
I guess, unless the reader is willing to empathize with taara. Given
the appropriate social and philosophical context, it is not hard to
see what taara is saying. Today such writing can expect a more
sympathetic audience. May be.
