Sri Nadiminty Sarvamangaleswara Sastry
Sri Nadiminty Sarvamangaleswara Sastry (1759-1839) lived in a
small village named Nagooru located on the north bank of river Naagaavali in
the present Vizianagaram district of north Andhra Pradesh. He was an authority
on Siddhaanta Koumudi (సిద్ధాంత కౌముది) and considered himself a maanasa sishya of Bhattoji
Dixita. Following the tradition of Bhattoji Dixita, Sarvamangalwsara Sastry created
four simplified Sanskrit grammar manuals – Sabda Manjari (శబ్ద మంజరి), Samaasa Kusumaavali (సమాస కుసుమావళి), Vibhakti Vilaasamu (విభక్తి విలాసము) and Ramayana Sangraham (రామాయణ సంగ్రహం),
which stand as the most sought after textbooks by Sanskrit students even today,
especially in the south India.
Sarvamangaleswara Sastry was had a unique style, which often are humorous or satirical as per his mood. Take for example his Ganesha Sthuthi.

భూనాయకం వా ధన నాయకం వా
భజం భువం వా ధనమేతి లోకే
తద్విజ్ఞాతం న భజామి కింతు
శస్ర సస్తం ప్రణమామి నిత్యం
"If one seeks a landlord, he gives land; and a rich person
gives money on pleading. If you seek from the Lord of Obstacles (Vighnas)
He can only give Vighnaas. Hence I do not pray to Ganesha), but I bow to him
thousands of times (just to keep him in good humour)".

Good beginning. All the best.
