Pavuluri Mallana was an Indian mathematician of the 11th or early 12th century CE from present day Andhra Pradesh. Some historians consider him to be a contemporary of the Eastern Chalukya king Rajaraja Narendra (1022–1063 CE), while others place him in early 12th century CE. He translated Gaṇitasārasangraha, a 9th century mathematical treatise of Mahaviracharya, into Telugu as Sāra Sangraha Ganitamu, popularly known as Pavuluri Ganitamu. It was one of the earliest translations of a mathematical text from Sanskrit into a regional language. It is the oldest scientific text written in the Telugu language. It was followed later by Eluganti Peddana's Prakīrna Ganitamu, a Telugu translation of Bhāskara's Līlāvatī.
