Amuktamalayada translation by Srinivas Reddy

I bought the book from Amazon and posted the review below:
Amazed to read the history of this book. The original version is written by a Kannada king in Telugu language and is about a Tamil saint and describes Madurai with great zest. Amazing, that despite cut-throat warfare in the South the people still managed to praise something or the other from other regions. As a translation, obviously it looks kludgy but the author has made best effort and called this his labour of love. Praiseworthy. My prime reason for liking this book is it notes and annotations. Very nice.
