 His other classic, "Anathanatha Purana" (1230), is an account of the life of the 14th tirthankar Ananthanatha.Andayya, taking a non-conformist path that was never repeated in Kannada literature, wrote "Madana Vijaya" ("Triumph of cupid", 1217–1235) using only pure Kannada words ("desya") and naturalised Sanskrit words ("tadbhava") and totally avoiding assimilated Sanskrit words ("tatsamas").This is seen by some as a rebuttal meant to prove that writing Kannada literature without borrowed Sanskrit words was possible.
