Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Amuktamalyada is a renowned political and religious treatise written by the Vijayanagara Emperor Krishnadevaraya in the Telugu language. The title translates to "One who offered the garland after wearing it herself," referring to the story of the Tamil Alvar saint Goda Devi (Andal). Although Krishnadevaraya was a native Kannada speaker, his reign is considered the classical phase of Telugu literature, earning him the title 'Andhra Pitamaha'. While he also authored Sanskrit works like 'Usha Parinayam' and 'Jambavati Kalyanam', Amuktamalyada stands as a landmark in Telugu literary history for its poetic beauty and political themes. The work is significant for integrating the southern Tamil Bhakti tradition into Telugu epic poetry, showcasing the cultural synthesis of the medieval Vijayanagara Empire.
