The poet has far excelled his original Todd. The central character, the
hero of heroes is Rana Pratap. He is depicted as the truest Rajayogin. With no
kingdom, no forts, no army, no shelter. no food, except edible grass, he raises
the banner of freedom aloft, holds it high for twenty five years against Akber,
the greatest emperor of the day, declining to whisper into the ears of Raja Man
Singh one word of submission to the Mogul Fadushah. His stern simplicity, his
intrepid valour, his resolve to defy fate and worship at the shrine of liberty, his
unyielding pride in his Solar descent, his patriotic attachment to the barren
wilds of the Aravalli Hills, his chivalrous courtesy even unto the enemy are all so
painted in words that the written word appears to transcend the best colouring
effect on the convass. No sense of despair mars the effect of his marvellous courage.
The series of his [Pratap's] valourous deeds constitute a reading that is rivalled in
Telugu literature only by the deeds of Bhishma and Abhimanyu in Thikkana's
Bharata.

The portraiture of the opposite camp is no less elevating. One can easily
find modern parallels for Akbar and Man Singh. There does not however appear
to be a parallel to "Abdur Rahiman" the chif minister of Akber. He is the noblest
of the noble, the flower of Islam, the truest devotee of true Virtue............... The
nationalistic outlook of the work is really a pleasure to ponder over........………………….………

The poet's style is classic. It is what moderns in Telugu call "Grandhic."
However the flow is so natural, the language is so idioulatic, the illustrations
are so familiar, the expression is so homely and pithy that the most modern pedant
would have very little quarrel with the poet for the style employed.
cantos does the poet show his partiality for Sanskritic metre. The rest of the
work abounds in the quick mellifluous cadence of the native metre.

The production of this beautiful book marks an epoch in the modern
Telugu literature. The author takes us back to those glorious days of India when
Freedom's battles were fought in the great theatre of the Indo-Gang etic plain. It
is highly Miltonic in conception and the reader's attention is sustained throughout
by the rich mental imagery contained in verse after verse. There is a superb touch
