Jandhyala Papayya Sastry (, 4 August 1912 – 21 June 1992) was an eminent Telugu writer and lyricist. He was popularly known as Karunasri because his writings expressively show compassion (Karuna or Kāruṇyam), one of the Nine Rasas. His famous kavyas include ''Pushpa Vilapam'' and ''Kunthi Kumari''.〔Karunasri, Luminaries of 20th Century, Part I, Potti Sriramulu Telugu University, Hyderabad, 2005, pp: 66–67.〕 ==Brief life sketch== Papayya Sastry was born in Kopparru village, Pedanandipadu mandal, Guntur district in 1912. After primary and middle school education in his village. Papayya Sastry has about 27 works,〔(Excerpts of J.J.Bapuji about his father published in My Father, Ed.by Dwa.Na.Sastry )〕 which include ''Pushpa Vilapam'', ''Kunthi Kumari'', ''Karunasri'', ''Paaki Pilla'', ''Udayasri'', ''Vijayasri'', ''Omar Khayyam'', ''Aruna Kiranalu'', ''Telugu Baala'' and ''Kalyana Kalpavalli''. His ''Pushpa Vilapam'' was born out of his anger towards a visitor, who began eating the petals of a rose from the flower vase on the table, while the poet had been in his prayer room. ''Karunasri'' was born out of his stream of his thoughts when he visited the rare Buddhist sculpture, Mahachaitya and pillars at Amaravathi village, Guntur district. He saw the plight of a scavenger girl and wrote ''Paaki Pilla'' (1928) at the age of 16 years. His compositions are timeless; they move the soul. The language is very simple and any common man with basic understanding of the Telugu language can easily understand the depth of his expression. Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao rendered his ''Pushpa Vilapam'' and ''Kunti Kumari''. The lyrics and Ghantasala's voice are said to make people cry with pity. Papayya Sastry acted as Nandi Thimmana without wearing any make-up in ''Bhuvana Vijayam'' during Ugadi celebrations. He became a devotee of Satya Sai Baba and Viswaguru Viswamji during his later years.〔(Jandhyala photo in Naa Prapancham blogspot )〕 Papayya Sastry was married to Anasuyamma.
