Sumathi Satakam

According to many literary critics Sumati Satakam was reputedly composed by Baddena Bhupaludu (1220-1280 CE).

He was a Chola prince and was a vassal under the Kakatiya empress Rani Rudrama Devi during the thirteenth century.

The Sumatee Satakam is also one of the earliest Telugu works to be translated into European languages.

Sri Riasat Ali Taj (1930-1999), a poet and scholar from Hyderabad has made poetic translations (Manzoom Tarjuma in Urdu Rubaiyaat) published in popular Urdu magazines and news papers in early 1950s.

Sumati Satakam has been extremely popular for a long time with parents and teachers who try to teach the right conduct and social values to young children.
