[[Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam]] (TTD) published the sacred texts into Telugu in 1984 under Acharya Diwakarla Venkatavadhani as the chief editor. A forum called as Divakarla Vedika was formed to showcase his works.

This project was headed by [[Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://ebooks.tirumala.org/Product/Book/?ID=1872|title = Andhra Mahabharatam Vol 1|accessdate = 24 August 2015|website = Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams ePublications|publisher = Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams}}</ref>
