Amuktamalyada is a significant Telugu epic poem composed by Krishnadevaraya, the most famous ruler of the Vijayanagara Empire. While primarily a literary work narrating the story of Andal, it is renowned for its sections discussing political maxims, principles of governance, and administrative advice, making it a work on statecraft. Jambavati Kalyanam and Ushaparinayam are Sanskrit dramas by Krishnadevaraya. Rayavachakamu is a historical chronicle about the Vijayanagara Empire but was written by Sthānapati Ananta, not Krishnadevaraya. Satyavadu Parinaya is likely a reference to Krishnadevaraya’s Sanskrit work Satyaraja Parinayam.
