Here is a question:  Would anyone who could read Sanskrit be interested in
reading Nannaya's _Andhra Mahabharatamu_?  Is this work valuable only for
people who cannot read the Mahabharatam in Sanskrit and must therefore get
it in Telugu?  Question 2:  Since there are many translations of Vyasa's 
Mahabharata, would there be any interest in translating from Telugu into
English as well?  Would this be considered further from the original,
being a translation of a translation, or have any literary value in its
own right?
