Bhogini Dhandakam is a poem written to praise Bhogini, the wife of King Sri Singa Bhoopala. This was his first poem, showing him how good he would be as a poet. Bhogini Dhandakam is the oldest Dhandaka that is available in Telugu. A Dhandaka is a rhapsody that uses the same gana or foot the whole time. His second book was called Virabhadhra Vijayamu. It told the story of Lord Virabhadhra, an element of Lord Shiva, and his adventures. The main idea was that Daksha Prajapathi destroyed the "Daksha Yagna" without Lord Siva's help.
