The Ārādhya Śaivas of the Telugu country differed from the Lingāyats in some respects. They followed Mallikārjuna Paṇḍitārādhya, a contemporary of Basava, in refusing to accept the latter's rejection of the Veda and renunciation of caste. But the relations of Ārādhya Śaivism with Lingāyatism were friendly, and both joined together in the fourteenth century in resisting the inroads of Muslims and in preparing the way for the foundation of Vijayanagar.
