Veneration to the Elders: ŚivakŌṬyĀcĀrya's VaḌḌĀrĀdhane

Śivakōṭyācārya's Vaḍḍārādhane (Veneration to the Elders) is the earliest extant prose work in Kannada language written by Śivakōṭyācārya during 940 CE. This classical text reflects the oral tradition of narrating stories of legendary religious ascetics based on the gāhās which were taken from Bhagavatī Ārādhanā.
