About Mulaghatika Ketana
Mulaghatika Ketana was an Indian writer and poet.
Mulaghatika Ketana (Telugu: మూలఘటిక కేతన, c. 12201260)
Vijnaneshvaramu or Vijnaneshvariyamu is a legal dharmashastra text based on Mitakshara, Vijnaneshvara's commentary on Yajnavalkya Smrti. Like the other dharmashastra texts, Ketana adheres to the varna system, treating Brahmins and men favourably. He highlights the importance of Brahmins in governance, and recommends that the rulers follow the advice of the Brahmins knowledgeable about the shastras.
Andhra-bhasha-bhushanamu ("Ornament of the Andhra Language") is a work on grammar. This was likely the earliest Telugu grammar. Andhra-shabda-chintamani, purported to be an earlier work attributed to Nannaya, is a fictitious work, and the sutras attributed to Nannaya in this work are likely from a later period, with their final version dating to the 17th century.
