Assertion [A] : Allasani Peddana was a renowned poet in the imperial court of Krishnadeva Raya. Reason [R] : He used to mix Telugu words and Sanskrit words in his poems.
Both [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct reasoning for [A]
Allasani Peddana was the foremost of the Ashtadiggajas, the eight great poets of Krishnadeva Raya's court at Vijayanagara, and was honoured with the title Andhra Kavitapitamaha. So the Assertion is true.
His celebrated work Manucharitramu is written in a rich style that blends Telugu with a large number of Sanskrit words and compounds. So the Reason is also true.
However, his place in the imperial court came from his overall poetic genius and the king's patronage, not simply because he mixed Telugu and Sanskrit words, so the Reason does not explain the Assertion.
Hence, Both [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct reasoning for [A].
