Vaddadi Subbarayudu

Vaddadi Subbarayudu (1854–1938) was a popular Indian Telugu writer and translator.

[1] Subbarayudu was born on 30 July 1860 to a poor Brahmin family in the East Godavari district of India.

In 1874, he translated labdanasana tantra from Sanskrit and named it nyayadarpanam.

[2] He taught Telugu at Innispet High School in Rajahmundry[3] for 10 years.

In 1887, as part of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations, while India was still a British colony, Subbarayudu recited his work alongside other popular poets including Kandukuri Veeresalingam and Vavilala Vasudeva Sastry in Rajahmundry.
