Which one of the following statements regarding King Krishnadevaraya is NOT correct ?

King Krishnadevaraya was a prolific scholar and polyglot proficient in Telugu, Sanskrit, and Kannada [4]. While he authored several Sanskrit works such as 'Jambavati Kalyanam' and 'Usha Parinayam', his magnum opus, 'Amuktamalyada', was written in Telugu [3]. This epic poem, which details the life of the Tamil saint Andal, is considered a masterpiece of Telugu literature and reflects his deep devotion to the language [3]. Regarding foreign accounts, Portuguese travelers Domingo Paes and Fernao Nuniz visited his court and provided detailed descriptions of the empire. Additionally, Duarte Barbosa praised the king for the high level of justice and equity maintained within his realm. Therefore, the statement claiming 'Amuktamalyada' was written in Sanskrit is incorrect, as it was composed in Telugu [4].
