A couple of comments:
Style: The places where pure samskRta phrases got juxtaposed with pure
telugu phrases leave a bad taste in the mouth.
Usage: 'sasya Syaamala (sic) cEsina' ??
History: If I remember correctly, pulakESi was around the time of ...some
BC period. Aren't there any more telugu kings until rAjarAja (11th AD)?
Also, was yajnaSrI SAtakarNi real? I thought he was a product of aDavi
bApirAju's imagination - is he the same as gautamI putra SAtakarNi?
Don't get me wrong, the poem reads very well, has a nice gait to it and
all, but still... just wondering aloud.
