The poet Mukku Timma praised him as a great general and stated: "O Krishnaraya, you Man-Lion. You destroyed the Turks from far away with just your great name's power. Oh Lord of the elephant king, just from seeing you the multitude of elephants ran away in horror."<ref name="Vijayanagara Voices p.124"/> ===Telugu literature=== {{main|Astadiggajas}} The rule of Krishna Deva Raya is known as golden age of Telugu literature. Eight Telugu poets were regarded as eight pillars of his literary assembly and known as [[Ashtadiggajas]]. Krishna Dev Raya himself composed an epic Telugu poem [[Amuktamalyada]]. During the reign of Krishnadevaraya Telugu culture and literature flourished and reached their heyday. The great emperor was himself a celebrated poet having composed [[Amuktamalyada]]. In his court, eight Telugu poets were regarded as the eight pillars of the literary assembly. In the olden days, it was believed that eight elephants were holding the earth in eight different directions. The title [[Ashtadiggajas]] celebrates this belief and hence the court was also called Bhuvana Vijayam (Conquest of the World). The period of the Empire is known as "Prabandha Period," because of the quality of the prabandha literature produced during this time. Among these eight poets, [[Allasani Peddana]] is considered to be the greatest and is given the title of ''Andhra Kavita Pitamaha'' (the father of Telugu poetry). ''Svarocisha Sambhava'' or ''Manucharita'' is his popular prabandha work and was dedicated to Krishnadevaraya. [[Nandi Thimmana]] wrote Parijathapaharanam. [[Madayyagari Mallana]] wrote ''Rajasekhara Charitramu.'' [[Dhurjati]] wrote ''Kalahasti Mahatyamu'' and [[Ayyalaraju Ramabhadrudu]] wrote ''Sakalakatha Sangraha'' and ''Ramaabhyudayamu.'' [[Pingali Surana]] wrote ''Raghava Pandaviyamu'', ''Kalapurnodayam'', ''Prabhavate Pradyamana''. ''Raghavapandaveeyamu'' is a dual work with double meaning built into the text, describing both the [[Ramayana]] and the [[Mahabharata]]. Kalapurnodayam(means full bloom of art) has been treated as the first original poetic novel in Telugu literature. Battumurthy alias [[Ramarajabhushanudu]] wrote ''Kavyalankarasangrahamu,'' ''Vasucharitra'', ''Narasabhupaliyam'' and ''Harischandranalopakhyanamu.'' Among these works the last one is a dual work which tells simultaneously the story of King [[Harishchandra]] and [[Nala]] and [[Damayanti]]. [[Tenali Ramakrishna]] first wrote ''Udbhataradhya Charitramu,'' a [[Shaivite]] work. However, he converted to [[Vaishnavism]] later and wrote Vaishnava devotional texts ''Panduranga Mahatmyamu,'' and ''Ghatikachala Mahatmyamu.'' Tenali Rama remains one of the most popular folk figures in India today, a quick-witted courtier ready even to outwit the all-powerful emperor. Other well-known poets were Sankusala Nrisimha Kavi, who wrote ''KavikarnaRasayana'', Chintalapudi Ellaya, who wrote ''Radhamadhavavilasa'' and ''Vishnumayavilasa'', [[Molla (poet)|Molla]], a poet wrote a version of ''Ramayana'', Kamsali Rudraya wrote ''Nirankusopakhyana'', and Addanki Gangadhara wrote ''Basavapurana''. Manumanchi Bhatta wrote a scientific work called ''Hayalakshana Sastra''. ===Kannada literature=== He patronised Kannada poets Mallanarya, who wrote ''Veera-saivamruta'', ''Bhava-chinta-ratna'' and ''Satyendra Chola-kathe'', Chatu Vittal-anatha who wrote ''Bhaga-vatha'', Timmanna Kavi who wrote a eulogy of his king in ''Krishna Raya Bharata''.<ref name="Kannada1">Dr. S.U.

With regard to the promotion of the economic progress of his people, Krishnadevaraya says: "the extent of the kingdom is the means for the acquisition of wealth.<ref name="reference">Medieval Indian History by Krishnaji Nageshrao Chitnis p.82</ref> Therefore even if the land is limited in extent, excavate tanks and canals and increase the prosperity of the poor by leasing him the land for low ari and koru, so that you may obtain wealth as well as religious merit."<ref name="reference" /> [[Image:View of dilapidated main mantapa at the Vitthala templein Hampi.jpg|250px|thumb|right|[[Vitthala]] temple with musical pillars, Hoysala style multigonal base [[Hampi]]]] The rule of Krishna Deva Raya was an age of prolific literature in many languages, although it is also known as a golden age of Telugu literature. Many Kannada, Sanskrit, Telugu and Tamil poets enjoyed the patronage of the emperor. Emperor Krishna Deva Raya was fluent in many languages. There remains a debate whether he was a Kannadiga or Telugu<ref>http://www.hindu.com/2010/09/14/stories/2010091462650700.htm</ref> or Tuluva by lineage.<ref>http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2005/12/30/stories/2005123002710600.htm</ref> Krishna dev Raya took the title of Abhinava-Bhoja{{sfn|Sheldon Pollock|2003|p=179}}(lit: the New [[bhoja]]) and Sakala-Kala-Bhoja ("[[Bhoja]] of all the arts").{{sfn|Sheldon Pollock|2003|p=179}} in the honour of [[parmar|Parmara]] emperor [[Bhoja]] who was a polymath, a master of many subjects and a military genius. The poet Mukku Timma praised him as a great general and stated: "O Krishnaraya, you Man-Lion. You destroyed the Turks from far away with just your great name's power. Oh Lord of the elephant king, just from seeing you the multitude of elephants ran away in horror."<ref name="Vijayanagara Voices p.124"/> ===Telugu literature=== {{main|Astadiggajas}} The rule of Krishna Deva Raya is known as golden age of Telugu literature. Eight Telugu poets were regarded as eight pillars of his literary assembly and known as [[Ashtadiggajas]]. Krishna Dev Raya himself composed an epic Telugu poem [[Amuktamalyada]]. During the reign of Krishnadevaraya Telugu culture and literature flourished and reached their heyday. The great emperor was himself a celebrated poet having composed [[Amuktamalyada]]. In his court, eight Telugu poets were regarded as the eight pillars of the literary assembly. In the olden days, it was believed that eight elephants were holding the earth in eight different directions. The title [[Ashtadiggajas]] celebrates this belief and hence the court was also called Bhuvana Vijayam (Conquest of the World). The period of the Empire is known as "Prabandha Period," because of the quality of the prabandha literature produced during this time. Among these eight poets, [[Allasani Peddana]] is considered to be the greatest and is given the title of ''Andhra Kavita Pitamaha'' (the father of Telugu poetry). ''Svarocisha Sambhava'' or ''Manucharita'' is his popular prabandha work and was dedicated to Krishnadevaraya. [[Nandi Thimmana]] wrote Parijathapaharanam. [[Madayyagari Mallana]] wrote ''Rajasekhara Charitramu.'' [[Dhurjati]] wrote ''Kalahasti Mahatyamu'' and [[Ayyalaraju Ramabhadrudu]] wrote ''Sakalakatha Sangraha'' and ''Ramaabhyudayamu.'' [[Pingali Surana]] wrote ''Raghava Pandaviyamu'', ''Kalapurnodayam'', ''Prabhavate Pradyamana''. ''Raghavapandaveeyamu'' is a dual work with double meaning built into the text, describing both the [[Ramayana]] and the [[Mahabharata]]. Kalapurnodayam(means full bloom of art) has been treated as the first original poetic novel in Telugu literature. Battumurthy alias [[Ramarajabhushanudu]] wrote ''Kavyalankarasangrahamu,'' ''Vasucharitra'', ''Narasabhupaliyam'' and ''Harischandranalopakhyanamu.'' Among these works the last one is a dual work which tells simultaneously the story of King [[Harishchandra]] and [[Nala]] and [[Damayanti]]. [[Tenali Ramakrishna]] first wrote ''Udbhataradhya Charitramu,'' a [[Shaivite]] work. However, he converted to [[Vaishnavism]] later and wrote Vaishnava devotional texts ''Panduranga Mahatmyamu,'' and ''Ghatikachala Mahatmyamu.'' Tenali Rama remains one of the most popular folk figures in India today, a quick-witted courtier ready even to outwit the all-powerful emperor. Other well-known poets were Sankusala Nrisimha Kavi, who wrote ''KavikarnaRasayana'', Chintalapudi Ellaya, who wrote ''Radhamadhavavilasa'' and ''Vishnumayavilasa'', [[Molla (poet)|Molla]], a poet wrote a version of ''Ramayana'', Kamsali Rudraya wrote ''Nirankusopakhyana'', and Addanki Gangadhara wrote ''Basavapurana''. Manumanchi Bhatta wrote a scientific work called ''Hayalakshana Sastra''. ===Kannada literature=== He patronised Kannada poets Mallanarya, who wrote ''Veera-saivamruta'', ''Bhava-chinta-ratna'' and ''Satyendra Chola-kathe'', Chatu Vittal-anatha who wrote ''Bhaga-vatha'', Timmanna Kavi who wrote a eulogy of his king in ''Krishna Raya Bharata''.<ref name="Kannada1">Dr. S.U.

Krishna Deva Raya considered the saint his ''Kula-devata'' and highly honored him. ''A Concise History of Karnataka'' pp 178, Dr. S.U.

However, it is not yet clear if the record was written by the king himself. ===Tamil literature=== [[File:செவரப்பூண்டி கிருஷ்ணதேவராயர் கல்வெட்டு.JPG|thumbnail|right|Tamil inscription of Krishnadevaraya, Severappoondi]] Krishna Deva Raya patronised the Tamil poet [[Haridasa]], and Tamil literature soon began to flourish as the years passed by.<ref name="Tamil1">Dr. S.U.

For this he is honoured with installing his statues along with his two wives at the temple complex.These statues are still visible at the temple at the exit. He also contributed in building parts of [[Srisailam]] temple complex. Krishna Deva Raya was formally initiated into the Vaishnava Sampradaya by [[Lakshmi Kumara Thathachariar|Tathacharya]]. He was also his ''Rajguru''.When Krishnadevaraya became the ruler Tathacharya was his guru. He patronised poets and scholars in [[Kannada language|Kannada]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Sanskrit]]. == References== * {{cite book |author=Sheldon Pollock | author-link=Sheldon Pollock | title=The Language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India | publisher=University of California Press|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0UCh7r2TjQIC&pg=PA179 | year=2003 | isbn=0-5202-4500-8 }} * Smith, Vincent, ''Oxford History of India'', Fourth Edition, pgs. 306-307, and 312-313. * Dr. Suryanath U.

Eight Telugu poets were regarded as eight pillars of his literary assembly and known as <a href="/wiki/Ashtadiggajas" title="Ashtadiggajas">Ashtadiggajas</a>.

The great emperor was himself a celebrated poet having composed <a href="/wiki/Amuktamalyada" title="Amuktamalyada">Amuktamalyada</a>. In his court, eight Telugu poets were regarded as the eight pillars of the literary assembly. In the olden days, it was believed that eight elephants were holding the earth in eight different directions. The title <a href="/wiki/Ashtadiggajas" title="Ashtadiggajas">Ashtadiggajas</a> celebrates this belief and hence the court was also called Bhuvana Vijayam (Conquest of the World).
