Government to recover manuscripts

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: The Government will launch two projects to identify and recover manuscripts of Yogi Vemana and Potuluri Veerabhahmendra Swamy.

J. Tirumala Rao, Director, Andhra Pradesh Oriental Manuscripts Library & Research Institute here, said many scholars, including C. P. Brown, had done research on the life and history of Vemana with reference to his anthology of poems, "Vemana Satakam."

But none of them could trace his manuscripts and specify the number of poems written by him.

The Government, therefore, would launch a project to undertake the research again and recover the palm-leaf manuscripts of the `satakam' wherever they are available.

Similarly, another project would be taken up for research into the history of Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swamy and efforts made to recover the `talapatra' manuscripts relating to his "Kalagnanam."
