![]() There are several references to the songs of Annamacharya and their uniqueness in Annamacharya Charitram composed by his grandson, Tiruvengalanadha, better known as Chinnanna. Probably, no other Telugu Pada poet has succeeded like Annamayya in infusing the rasa of Sringāra with so many shades and minute intricacies.

The Sringāra used by Annamacharya is of a different nature as compared to Telugu Padakavitha of any other poet. ![]() He was a pioneer in the arena of Padakavitha, and could handle both amorous and devotional strains with equal felicity. ![]() Annamacharya is to be reckoned as the first among the hymnographers in Telugu, not only from the viewpoint of chronology, but also for his superb artistry and range of feelings and thoughts.
