Annamacharya is Andhra pada kavitha pitamaha who not only composed 32000 songs but also many sastra granthams on music like sankeerthana lakshanam,srungara manjari etc.,
His sankeerthanas reveals many unknown facts of veda purana ithihasa and alwar sree sukthi in telugu language.
It is mentioned in Sankeerthana lakshanam that Tirumala srinivasa never pay attention to other things when he is listening to Annamacharya padams.
