Lakshmisa
Lakshmisa (or Lakshmisha, (カンナダ語:ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀಶ)) was a noted Kannada language Brahmin writer who lived during the mid–16th or late–17th century period. His most important writing, ''Jaimini Bharata'' is a version of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The writing focuses on the events following the battle of Indraprastha between the Pandavas and Kauravas, using the Ashvamedha ("horse sacrifice") conducted by Yudhishthira as the topic of the epic narrative. The writing is in the ''shatpadi'' metre (hexa-metre, 6 line verse) and was inspired by the Sanskrit original written by sage Jaimini.〔Sastri (1955), p. 365〕
==His life==
The place, time and religious sect that Lakshmisa belonged to has been a subject of controversy among historians. Some historians believe he was a native of Devanur in modern Kadur taluk, Chikkamagaluru district, Karnataka state. It is claimed that his family deity was "Lakshmiramana" (a form of Hindu God Vishnu) to whom he dedicated his writing. Devanur was called by multiple names in his writing; Surapura and Girvanapura.〔Narasimhacharya (1988), p. 58〕 Other historians feel Surapura is located in the erstwhile Hyderabad region. Some historians believe that Lakshmisa was an Advaitin or a Smartha Brahmin (believer of monistic philosophy) of the Bhagavata sect because the poet has invoked the names of Hindu God Shiva, his consort Parvati and son Ganapati in the beginning of his writing.〔 However, despite these invocations, he may have been a Srivaishnava (a follower of the Visishtadvaita philosophy preached by 12th century philosopher Ramanujacharya), there being examples of other Srivaishnava poets (who wrote in Kannada) who praised the God Shiva, Parvati and Ganapati in their writings.〔Narasimhacharya (1988), p. 59〕
There is also controversy about when he wrote ''Jaimini Bharata''. Scholars have assigned him various dates, the earliest being c. 1415,〔 but more generally mid–16th century,〔Shiva Prakash (1997), p. 210〕〔Sahitya Akademi (1988), p. 1182〕 and late 17th century.〔Sastri (1955), p. 365〕〔〔Kamath (2001), p. 230〕 The 16th century or earlier dating is based on similarities between Virupaksha Pandita's (1584 CE) ''Chennabasava Purana'' and Lakshmisa's work,〔Narasimhacharya (1988), p. 60〕 while the 17th century dating is based on the claim that no author, Brahmin or otherwise, has referenced his writing and directly mentioned his name in any literature during the period 15th century through late 17th century. Whereas, authors who do mention Lakshmisa regularly in their writings are from the 18th century.〔
