आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

Tenth-century devotee (bhakta) of
Shiva, who was much admired by
Basavanna and the other Lingayat leaders. According to tradition Dasimayya
earned his living as a weaver, but spent
most of his energies propagating the
worship of Shiva. He encountered
particular opposition from the Jains
and the Vaishnavas, about which there
are many miraculous tales, but he
also served as a missionary to jungle
tribes. For further information see
A. K. Ramanujan (trans.), Speaking of
Siva, 1973.
