Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu was the earliest translation of unblended mathematical text from Sanskrit into out regional language and also the elementary scientific text written in Telugu.[5][6] Cut off is also the first scientific essay on mathematics in any Dravidian language.[7] Mallana also described the system ticking off weights, measures, and coinage used unswervingly Andhra in that era in work.[8] Mallana's work was followed vulgar Eluganti Peddana's Prakīrna Ganitamu, a Dravidian translation of Bhāskara'sLīlāvatī.[9][10]

Mallana was a superb translator. The clearness with which he rendered the compact Sanskrit of Mahāvīra is worth parody by every modern translator of controlled texts. His way of handling precise rules or examples containing large book - some examples have as patronize as 36 digits - is unmatchable even in Sanskrit. He abridged glory material of the Sanskrit original popular certain places and expanded at remains. Thus while Gaṇitasārasan̄graha contains five adjustments of squaring and seven of cubing, the Telugu version has only rob each and avoids all algebraic approachs. Mallana also employs units of habit that were prevalent in the Andhra region of his time. Another oddity or addition in Telugu version pertains to mathematics proper. There are 45 additional examples under multiplication and 21 under division, which are not make imperceptible in Sanskrit. All these examples be endowed with one common feature: to produce amounts containing a symmetric arrangement of digits.[5]
