Kavijanasrayam

Kavijanasrayam, also referred to as KavijanaaSrayam[1] Kavijanaasrayamu[2][3][4] and Kavijanaashrayam,[5] a Jain Literature,[5][6] is considered by scholars to be the earliest work detailing Telugu prosody,[7][1][8] that is, how the basic rhythm of verses in Telugu poetry is structured.[9][5] The work was authored by Malliya Rechana,[10][11][12] a Telugu language poet and writer, who lived in the 11t century in the present-day Vemulawada, Telangana region of India.[13][14][6]

While there are differing opinions on the exact year when the book was written,[1] Kavijanasrayam is estimated to have been written in the 11th century or between 900-950 CE.[1][10] This is the oldest surviving piece of Telugu literature[10][6][verification needed]and was the reference for many next generation poets.[6] It is divided into five chapters.[15] British scholar Charles Philip Brown wrote an English book on Telugu prosodic techniques based on Kavijanasrayam.[16]
