Errana

Errana was a great poet in the court of Prolaya Vemareddy (1325-1353), the founder of Reddy dynasty (1325-1424) of Kondaveedu, who ruled Guntur, Prakasam, Nellooru, and Kurnoolu districts of the state of Andhra Pradesh.

 Vishnupurana, the Sanskrit original, didn't describe how and why Lord Vishnu killed Hiranyakasyapa. His teacher was Srisankaraswamy, an orthodox Shaiva. This work was based on the Brahmandapuranamu and the Vishnupuranamu.

According to the Vishnupuranamu, King Hiranyakasyapa was the powerful sovereign of Bharatavarsha (the mythological country that encompassed the entire Indian subcontinent) and was a contemporary of King Indra, the sovereign of Ilavritavarsha, also known as Swarga, which was located in the North of India.

 His grandfather was Errapotana whose name was given to him and his grandmother was Perama. Tikkana did not touch this part because it was considered to be inauspicious to translate this book, which was left half-finished by Nannaya. His father was Surana and mother was Potamma. His family were shaivists, but he himself worshipped both Shiva and Vishnu.^[2]
