Raghunathabhyudayam

It was designed to valorise Raghunatha, situating his career as a type of the life of epic Rāma-Viṣṇu-Kṛṣṇa.

[1] The first few cantos of the poem invoke Raghunatha, seeking his patronage and assistance, and praise his generosity, piety, and intellect.

He succeeds his father Achuthappa Nayak in canto 8 and continues with his military exploits.

The last two cantos focus on the cultural activities and artistic achievements of his court, with a colophon in which Rāmabhadrāmbā emphasises her own merits.

[3] But it has since been identified as a significant source for the cultural history of seventeenth-century south India.
