In Kannada none of his works including Karnataka Kumarasambhava Kavya, the Kannada language version of Kalidas's epic poem, Kumārasambhava have survived. His works influenced Sri Ponna and other writers who wrote on the lives of Jain Tirthankaras; Kesiraja's work, Shabdamanidarpana written in 1260 CE, also cites his work as an authoritative example, along with other masters of early Kannada poetry.
