He was the author of \*Kavijanāśraya\*, a Telugu grammar, and \*Bhīmēśvara Purāṇa\* relating legends of the shrine of Bhīmēśvara at Dākṣhārāma. He seems to have written also \*Rāghava-Pāṇḍavīya\*, giving the story of both the \*Rāmāyaṇa\* and \*Mahābhārata\* together, the whole book being a sustained \*double entendre\*; it is no longer extant. There is much uncertainty about the life and works of Bhīma Kavi who has become a centre of many myths and miracles. - [Previous: c19.s4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.4) - [Next: c19.s4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.6) - [Up: c19.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4) ## Linked texts (4) - [Kavijanāśrayamu](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.telugu.sastra.kavijanasrayamu) — Rācanna, Telugu - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Dvisandhāna](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.post.kavya.dvisandhana) — Dhanañjaya, Sanskrit - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s4.5) · Pramāṇa
