2. kRushNa saastri made fun of those 'bhaava kavIs' who aped
him excepting for the fact their 'poetry' was totally flat!
merugu kaLLajOLLu girajaala saradaalu
bhaava kaviki lEnivEvi lEvu
kavitayaMdu tappa gaTTi vaaDanniMTa
viswadaabhi raama vinura vEma!
He also said the following: " kavulu reMDu rakaala vaaru.
taamu ceppa dalaciMdi nijaayitee tO ceppE vaaru. vaaridi
koMta kaalaM nilustuMdi. kaalanuguNa maina satyaanni -
yuga dharmaanni nirvaciMcE vaaru reMDOvaaru. vaaridi
saasvataM gaa vuMTuMdi." (1940s?) He seems much more modern
in his literary outlook than some in our telusa group!!
3. The following poem has 'nijaayitee' and also has 'kaalaanuguNa
satyaM.' It appeared on billboards during the World Telugu
Conference in Hyderabad and made some indelible impact!
Apaswaraalu
