c19.s3.15
This period forms a definite transition marked by some notable changes in Kannada language and literature. The letter ḷa tends to disappear giving place to ḷa, and pa in particular positions changes into ha. The Campū form of composition goes out of use, and new metres distinctive of Kannada like shaṭpadi and tripadi, verses with six and three lines respectively, and ragaḷes, lyrical poems with refrains, come into vogue.
