 <unk> , taking a non @-@ conformist path that was never repeated in Kannada literature , wrote <unk> Vijaya ( " Triumph of <unk> " , 1217 – 1235 ) using only pure Kannada words ( <unk> ) and naturalized Sanskrit words ( <unk> ) and totally avoiding assimilated Sanskrit words ( <unk> ) . This is seen by some as a rebuttal meant to prove that writing Kannada literature without borrowed Sanskrit words was possible . The poem narrates the story of the moon being imprisoned by the god Shiva in his abode in the Himalayas . In his anger , Kama ( <unk> , the god of love , also called <unk> ) assailed Shiva with his arrows only to be cursed by Shiva and separated from his beloved . Kama then contrived to rid himself of Shiva 's curse . The work also goes by other names such as <unk> <unk> ( " Harvest of Beauty " ) , <unk> <unk> ( " <unk> 's Conquest " ) and <unk> @-@ <unk> ( " Poets defender " ) . Kama has an important place in Jain writings even before <unk> . The possibility that this writing was yet another subtle weapon in the intensifying conflict between the dominant Jains and the <unk> , whose popularity was on the rise , is not lost on historians .
