 With the waning of Jain literary output, competition between the Veerashaiva and Vaishnava writers came to the fore.The Veerashaiva writer Chamarasa (author of "Prabhulingalile", 1425) and his Vaishnava competitor Kumaravyasa ("Karnata Bharata Kathamanjari", 1450) popularised the "shatpadi" metric tradition initiated by Hoysala poet Raghavanka, in the court of Vijayanagara King Deva Raya II.Lakshmisa, the 16th–17th century writer of epic poems, continued the tradition in the "Jaimini Bharata", a work that has remained popular even in the modern period.
