<p lang="sa">the Vidyaguru of Śrī Vyāsa Tīrtha, it was he who
gave an impetus to the movement. Not only he initiated
into Daśadīkṣa, the great personalities such as Śrī
Purandaradāsa and Srī Kanakadāsa, who by their
immortal compositions are known to all the Kannadigas,
but he himself with amazing ease composed songs
in Kannada which are marked with simplicity and at
the same time full of devotional fervor and philosophical
wisdom. Thus Śrī Vyāsa Tīrtha''s contribution to Kannada
literature in general and Haridāsa movement in particular
is enormous.

<p lang="sa">There are several poems in Sanskṛt which narrate
the life of Srī Vyāsa Tīrtha. One of them is Vyāsa
Vijaya, which according to the tradition, was composed
by Srī śrīnivāsa Tīrtha. The tradition holds that Śrī
Srinivasa Tirtha who was the direct desciple and successor
of Sri Vyāsa Tīrtha, was a son of Srī Vyāsarāja's
's
sister. The importance of Vyasa Vijaya cannot be ignored
as it was written by one who was a younger contemporary
of Sri Vyāsa Tīrtha. The other significant work on
the life of Sri Vyāsa Tīrtha, is the present work Śrī
Vyasayogicharitam composed by Somanātha kavi who
also was a younger contemporary of Sri Vyāsa Tīrtha.
This work also deserves our attention for many reasons.
One of them is that Somanātha was a Smärta poet.
He was brought up in a different culture and was
introduced to Srī Vyāsa Tīrtha when he was middle
aged and a matured person. Secondly, the work throws
much light on the political state of that time and also
much light on the political state of that time and also
the influence that Śrī Vyāsa Tīrtha held on the powerful
monarchs of that period. Thirdly, it is written in a
beautiful champū style. Though at several places it
is difficult to follow, the melody of the language that
he uses makes it very attractive.
