The correct answer is Amuktamalyada.
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.
Krishnadevaraya was not only a great conqueror and administrator but also a renowned scholar and patron of arts and literature. His court was adorned by eight poets known as the Ashtadiggajas. His reign (1509–1529 CE) is considered the golden age of the Vijayanagara Empire and Telugu literature. Amuktamalyada is one of the Pancha Kavyas (five great epics) of Telugu literature.
