These stories have been adapted
from the Keyurabahu Charitramu of the distinguished Telegu poet Manchana.
The poem narrates the story of Kind Keyurabahu in four cantons. It was
written in the latter half of the thirteenth century.Manchana borrowed
the theme from Viddhasala Bhankija, a ninth century play of Rajashekhara.
Besides deviating from the original play in several places, Manchana has
narrated twenty-two interesting stories not found in the original. Perhaps
some of them were popular in his day in the Telegu state. In our adaptation,
slight changes have been made in the narration for the sake of dramatic
effect and continuity.
