Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Writing more than 32,000 songs promoting devotion and social equality.
Annamacharya, often called the Padakavita Pitamaha (grandfather of Telugu song), is remembered for composing over 32,000 keertanas dedicated mainly to Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala. His works promoted bhakti, equality, and spiritual devotion, cutting across caste and social barriers. He used simple Telugu so common people could connect with divine music. His songs emphasized moral values and the unity of all devotees.
Why other options are incorrect:
He did not restrict hymns to caste rituals; rather, he opposed caste discrimination. He never limited his compositions to temples or priests; his works reached the masses. He didn’t focus only on melody; his songs carried deep spiritual and social messages.
