 Viswanatha Satyanarayana
Viswanatha Satyanarayana, the Poet Laureate of Andhra Pradesh and winner of JnanPith Award, is undoubtedly one of the greatest scholar-poets of Andhra.
An octogenerian with continuous and untiring literary activity extending over six decades, Viswanatha Satyanarayana has had the good fortune of living with writers of three generations.
These three generations represent writers of Puranic and Prabandhic style, moderns who wrote in the same style and those of the Bhavakavita school of poetry, and all the rest who tried to improve upon it or revolt against it.

 Telugu Fiction
Viswanatha matches him in some, excels him in some more and might be lacking in some like painting or institution building (Viswa Bharathi and Santhiniketan of Tagore) due to his middle class social context.
Viswanatha was disliked because of his world-view that Sanathana Dharma (loosely referred to as Hinduism) was the essential ingredient of Indian life in all its dimensions.
Viswanatha's "Veyi padagalu " (thousand hoods of Adisesha the divine serpent carrying the earth, and the bed of Vishnu) is a symbolic presentation of the multiple dimensions of Dharma (the guiding principle of the world).
