Works
His famous work was Swaarochisha Manu Sambhavam (also known as Manu Charitramu).

In he Himalayas, a Gandharva woman called Varudhini falls in love with him, but Pravara rejects her love as he is already married. Knowing this, a Gandharva youth who was earlier rejected by Varudhini, assumes the form of Pravara and succeeds to win her love. To the couple is born Svarochi, the father of Svarochisha-manu.[3]
