Which one of the following works was composed by Krishnadevaraya on statecraft in Telugu ?

Krishnadevaraya (r. 1509–1529), the most illustrious ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire, was a prolific scholar and patron of arts. He composed the celebrated Telugu work Amuktamalyada, which is considered a masterpiece of Prabandha literature [4]. While the poem primarily narrates the hagiography of the Tamil Alvar saint Andal (Goda Devi) and her marriage to Lord Vishnu, it contains a significant section on Rajaniti (royal policy) or statecraft [4]. In this section, he expounds on the duties of a king, including the promotion of commerce, the treatment of foreign traders, and the maintenance of internal security [5]. His other notable works, such as Jambavati Kalyanam and Usha Parinayam, were written in Sanskrit rather than Telugu [1]. Due to his immense contribution to the language, his reign is often called the 'Golden Age of Telugu Literature' [2].
