In a 3rd-century AD Tamil inscription there is usage of <i>oppanappa vIran</i>. Here the honorific <i>appa</i> to a person's name is an influence from Kannada. Another word of Kannada origin is <i>taayviru</i> and is found in a 4th-century AD Tamil inscription. S. Settar studied the <i>sittanavAsal</i> inscription of first century AD as also the inscriptions at <i>tirupparamkunram</i>, <i>adakala</i> and <i>neDanUpatti</i>. The later inscriptions were studied in detail by Iravatham Mahadevan also. Mahadevan argues that the words <i>erumi</i>, <i>kavuDi</i>, <span title="Old Tamil-language text"><i lang="oty">poshil</i></span> and <i>tAyiyar</i> have their origin in Kannada because Tamil cognates are not available. Settar adds the words <i>nADu</i> and <i>iLayar</i> to this list. Mahadevan feels that some grammatical categories found in these inscriptions are also unique to Kannada rather than Tamil. Both these scholars attribute these influences to the movements and spread of Jainas in these regions. These inscriptions belong to the period between the first century BC and fourth century AD.

Durvinita is said to have written a commentary on the difficult 15th <i>sarga</i> of Bharavi's <i>Kiratarjuniya</i> in Kannada. Early Kannada writers regularly mention three poets as of especial eminence among their predecessors – Samanta-bhadra, Kavi Parameshthi and Pujyapada. Since later Kannada poets so uniformly name these three as eminent poets, it is probable that they wrote in Kannada also. Samantabhadra is placed in 2nd century AD by Jain tradition. Old Kannada commentaries on some of his works exist.

Vachanas were pithy poems on that period's social, religious and economic conditions. More importantly, they held a mirror to the seed of social revolution, which caused a radical re-examination of the ideas of caste, creed and religion.

In 1112 AD, Jain poet Nayasena of Mulugunda, Dharwad district, in his Champu work <i>Dharmamrita</i> (ಧರ್ಮಾಮೃತ), a book on morals, warns writers from mixing Kannada with Sanskrit by comparing it with mixing of clarified butter and oil. He has written it using very limited Sanskrit words which fit with idiomatic Kannada. In 1235 AD, Jain poet Andayya, wrote <i>Kabbigara Kava</i>- ಕಬ್ಬಿಗರ ಕಾವ (Poet's Defender), also called <i>Sobagina Suggi</i> (Harvest of Beauty) or <i>Madana-Vijaya and</i> <i>Kavana-Gella</i> (Cupid's Conquest)<i>,</i> a <i>Champu</i> work in pure Kannada using only indigenous (<i>desya</i>) Kannada words and the derived form of Sanskrit words – <i>tadbhavas</i>, without the admixture of Sanskrit words. He succeeded in his challenge and proved wrong those who had advocated that it was impossible to write a work in Kannada without using Sanskrit words. Andayya may be considered as a protector of Kannada poets who were ridiculed by Sanskrit advocates. Thus Kannada is the only Dravidian language which is not only capable of using only native Kannada words and grammar in its literature (like Tamil), but also use Sanskrit grammar and vocabulary (like Telugu, Malayalam, Tulu, etc.) The Champu style of literature of mixing poetry with prose owes its origins to the Kannada language which was later incorporated by poets into Sanskrit and other Indian languages.<sup id="cite_ref-google_106-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-google-106"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>106<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-115" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-115"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>115<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-116" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-116"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>116<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-117" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-117"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>117<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-kannada_literature_118-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kannada_literature-118"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>118<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-119" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-119"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>119<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Middle_Kannada">Middle Kannada</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kannada&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Middle Kannada"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Kannada_literature_in_Vijayanagara_empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Kannada literature in Vijayanagara empire">Kannada literature in Vijayanagara empire</a> and <a href="/wiki/Literature_of_the_Kingdom_of_Mysore" class="mw-redirect" title="Literature of the Kingdom of Mysore">Literature of the Kingdom of Mysore</a></div> <p>During the period between the 15th and 18th centuries, <a href="/wiki/Hinduism" title="Hinduism">Hinduism</a> had a great influence on Middle Kannada (<i>Naḍugannaḍa</i>- ನಡುಗನ್ನಡ) language and literature. <a href="/wiki/Kumara_Vyasa" title="Kumara Vyasa">Kumara Vyasa</a>, who wrote the <i>Karṇāṭa Bhārata Kathāman̄jari</i> (ಕರ್ಣಾಟ ಭಾರತ ಕಥಾಮಂಜರಿ), was arguably the most influential Kannada writer of this period.
