Correct option is C
The correct answer is (C) Peddana – Kavyalankara Chintamani
Explanation:
- The pair Peddana – Kavyalankara Chintamani is incorrect because Kavyalankara Chintamani was actually written by Vinnakota Peddana.
- Allasani Peddana, the famous poet of Krishnadevaraya's court, wrote 'Manu Charitramu'.
- Vinnakota Peddana's Kavyalankara Chintamani is an important work on Telugu poetics and grammar.
- The other pairs correctly match the authors with their prominent Telugu literary works.
- Allasani Peddana is known as 'Andhra Kavita Pitamaha'.
- Krishnadevaraya's court was adorned by the 'Ashtadiggajas'.
- Mallana (Praudha Kavi Mallana) wrote Rukmangada Charitramu, also known as Ekadasi Mahatyamu.
- Mallana – Correctly paired with Rukmangada Charitramu.
- Madikisingana – Correctly paired with Padmapuranam (the first translation of a Purana into Telugu).
- Ananta (Anantamatya) – Correctly paired with Chandodarpanam, a work on prosody.
