I want send you a suggestion about Telugu Ramayana versions. You have mentioned Ranganatha Ramayana of Gona Buddha Reddy and Molla Ramayana of poetess Molla. Another well know Ramayana is Bhaskara Ramayana, attributed to Hulakki Bhaskara. Bhaskara wrote this Ramayana with the help of 3 other poets. Mallikarjuna Bhatt wrote Bala Kanda, Kishkindha Kanda and Sundara Kanda He is the son of Bhaskara Kumara Rudra Deva wrote Ayodhya Kanda he is the disciple of Bhaskara Bhaskara wrote Aranya Kanda and the final part of Yuddha Kanda. Ayyalarya friend of Bhaskara wrote the first part of Yuddha kanda. In Telugu generally Ramayana is know as Bhaskara Ramayana. There are other versions also. Among them one is Raghunatha Ramayana written by the King Raghunatha who ruled Tanzore in the beginning of 17th century. Only a few chapters available in Balakanda of this book. Molla Ramayana is very brief one in six chapters with around 400 poems. I can send the details if the editors of Wikipedia are interested.
