Background.
With the first translation of the Kural text into Telugu made in 1877, Telugu has seen a series of translations before the turn of the 20th century. The first translation was titled "Trivarga Dipika" made by Venkatrama Srividyanandaswami of the Kanuparti family, who presented it with elaborate notes. The second translation appeared in 1892 under the title "Trivargamu" made by Sakkam Narasimhalu Naidu. It was not a complete translation but only select couplets were translated. In 1906, another translation of selections was made by C. Lakshminarayana Sastry. In 1948, Telugu poet P. Sriramulu Reddi, who translated Kambaramayana into Telugu, published a translation of the Kural. In 1954, Challa Radhakrishna Sarma made a translation under the title "Tamila Vedamu". Another translation was published in 1955 by Jalayya under the title "Nitisudha". In 1966, Sonti Sripati Sastry published a translation titled "Sri Padula". In 1986, Gurucharan Dutaluri Jagannadham translated the work in verse. With a translation appearing in 2000, there were about 14 translations available in Telugu.
