I am not sure this is right. Kanyasulkamn appeared in late 1890s and the
second and present edition of the same has been published by the author in
1907, ibelieve.
Kandukoori's udyamam was somewhat 20 years after the appearance of the book.
Kandukoori had a law suit aginst the brother of Prakasam Pantulu where
Prakasam pantulu garu has faught to acquit his brother.
