Basava purana

The Basava Purana is a 13th-century Telugu epic poem. It was written by Palkuriki Somanatha. It is a sacred text of Lingayat. The epic poem narrates the life story of philosopher and social reformer Basava, the founder of Lingayat. He is also known by several other names such as Basavaṇṇa, Basavēśvara, Basavēśa, and Basavarāja. It is also an anthology of several Lingayat saints and their philosophies. In contrast to campu style, Somanatha adopted the desi (native) style and composed the purana in dwipada (couplets), a meter popular in oral tradition and closely related to folk songs.
