To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

This may account for the fact that the first four authors to be now named lived under the Ballal rajas.
The earliest is Harlsvara, called also Harihara, who had been a chief revenue accountant at Halebid under Narasimha Ballala. The story goes that, when called upon to present his accounts, he said that they had been accident- ally destroyed by fire when he was performing the drati (waving of lamps) in the Virupaksha temple at Hampe; and that he was dismissed by the king to that temple, where h
...e continued to live and where he wrote his works. His first was a book in lyrical (rag ale) form, in praise of the 63 puratanas or early Saiva saints. It is known as Siva- ganada ragale, or from the name of the first saint, Gambi- yannana ragale. As this produced the impression that he was not capable of writing anything more difficult than short songs, he composed the more ambitious work, Girijd- kalydna, or " Legend of the Marriage of Siva and Parvati, " which gained much popularity. It is written elegantly in the old Jaina style, and is highly praised by all subsequent Lingayat writers.
