JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY
became a vehicle of their religious literature. In the course of a few centuries Jaina produced poets like Adi-Pampa, Ranna, Janna, and Honna, rhetoricians like Nripatunga, Nagavarmo and Udayäditya, and scientists like Räjäditya, Chandrarāja and Kirtivarma. With the beginning of the rise of Basava in the 12th century Jain authors in Kannada began to disappear, their place being taken by the Virasaivas and the Vaishnavas. The classic Champu style of the Jains fell into disuse and the popular Shatpadi, Regale Sangatya and Vachana took its place. The advent of the British and the introduction of the European system of education. had their own effect on Kannada literature.
Systematic enquiry and scientific research in regard to Kannada language and literature largely owe their origin to western scholars like Rev. KITTEL and Mr. RICE. Mr. RICE published an account of Kannada poets in his introduction to Bhattakalanka's Sabdanuiasana.
In 1907 appeared the first volume of the "Lives of Kannada Poets" (upto the 14th century). We have today the Lives of Kannada poets brought upto the end of the 17th century. R. NARASIMHACHARIJA's 3rd volume (Lives of Kannada Poets).
