Errapragada ( Errana )

Errana, also known as Errapragada or Erranna, was a 14th-century Telugu poet and a devotee of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. He was one of the kavitrayam (Trinity of Poets) who translated the Sanskrit Mahabharata into Telugu. He also wrote original works such as Harivamsamu, Ramayanamu, and Nrusimhapuranamu, based on Hindu scriptures and legends. He praised the glory and grace of the gods through his poetic language, which was rich in imagery, metaphors, and similes. He dedicated his works to King Prolaya Vema Reddy, the founder of the Reddy dynasty, who honored him with the titles Prabandha-parameshvara and Shambhudasudu.
