Distinct Features of Sandhi in Vijayaraghavanayaka’s vipranaraya?acaritra
(Article in Telugu)

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the Distinct Features of Sandhi in Vijayaraghavanayaka’s vipranaraya?acaritra. The vipranaraya?acaritra was written by Vijayaraghavanayaka (a king poet) in 17th century in Thanjavur, a southern nayakas dynasty in India. The text was written in the Yakshagana (which can be narrated and can also be recited) form.

Numerous changes occurred in all forms of Telugu writings during the 16th and 17th centuries. Vipranarayana is a strong believer in God Vishnu and used to visit all the vishnu kshetras (famous vaishnava temples). In search of God, Vipranarayana once reached the king's city Dakshina Dwaraka (Mannargudi) where Sri Rajagopala swamy (a form of Vishnu) resides.

There, the Vipranarayana faces several troubles with his family, and later will be relieved with the blessings of Sri Rajagopala swamy.

This is the story of Vipranarayana (Vipranarayanacaritra) in brief. Telugu used in this text tells us that several changes took place in the writing system during the period.

Several changes in language use appeared at word and sentence levels. In this paper, we have confined ourselves to examine the distinct morpho-phonemic (sandhi) features.

This study will help the researchers, who are working in writing descriptive grammars and comparative grammars and analyzing the evolution of Telugu language.
