Vaddadi Subbarayudu
Vaddadi Subbarayudu (1854–1938) was a popular Indian Telugu writer and translator. His writing had widespread appeal.[1]
Early life
[edit]Subbarayudu was born on 30 July 1860 to a poor Brahmin family in the East Godavari district of India. His father, Suraparaju, was a scholar, poet and teacher. He had no formal schooling but was taught by his relatives.
He began reciting poetry in 1868 at the age of 14.
Career
[edit]He translated the bhajagovindam from Sanskrit. In 1874, he translated labdanasana tantra from Sanskrit and named it nyayadarpanam.[2]
He taught Telugu at Innispet High School in Rajahmundry[3] for 10 years. In 1888, he joined the Government School (later Government Arts College) as a Telugu lecturer.
In 1887, as part of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations, while India was still a British colony, Subbarayudu recited his work alongside other popular poets including Kandukuri Veeresalingam and Vavilala Vasudeva Sastry in Rajahmundry.[4]
