Kashiram Das Kashiram das (কাশীরাম দাস, born 16th century) is an important poet in medieval Bengali literature. His Bengali re-telling of the "Mahabharata", known as "Kashidasi Mahabharat", is a popular and influential version of the "Mahabharata" legend in Bengal. Although the entire work is intra-textually ascribed to him, most scholars agree that he composed only the first four of the eighteen books ("parvas"). As with the "Ramayana" of Krittibas Ojha, Kashiram freely removed elements and added other legends to the story. "Das" is not a last name, but a title meaning "servant" in the Vaishnava tradition; the name is also written as Kashiramdas.

Pattole Palome The Pattole Palame, a collection of Kodava folksongs and traditions compiled in the early 1900s by Nadikerianda Chinnappa, was first published in 1924. The most important Kodava literature, it is said to be one of the earliest, if not the earliest, collection of the folklore of a community in an Indian language. Family histories, rituals and other records were scripted on palm leaves by astrologers. These ancient, scripted leaves called Pattole (patt=silk, ole=like) are still preserved at Kodava Aine manes. Palame was the name for the hereditary oral tradition of folk songs and ballads among the Coorgs (Kodavas). The fourth edition of the Pattole Palame was published in 2002 by the Karnataka Kodava Sahitya Academy. Nearly two thirds of the book consists of folksongs that were handed down orally through generations. Many of these songs are sung even today during marriage and death ceremonies, during our festivals relating to the seasons and during festivals in honour of local deities and heroes. Traditionally known as "Balo Pat", these songs are sung by four men who beat dudis as they sing. The songs have haunting melodies and evoke memories of times long past. Kodava folk dances are performed to the beat of many of these songs.

Scholars compare Guṇāḍhya with Vyasa and Valmiki even though he did not write the now long-lost "Brihatkatha" in Sanskrit; the loss of this text is one of the greatest losses of Indian literature.
