Kumara Vyasa   : 

                           Kumara Vyasa's hometown is Gadag, in North Karnataka. Even now, there is a pillar in one of the temples of Gadag, where Kumara Vyasa is said to have composed and sung his works.This pillar is commonly called Kumara Vyasa's pillar. Kumara Vyasa is one of the most famous poets in the Kannada language, spoken in the state of Karnataka, India. Kumara Vyasa's original name was Naranappa, and Kumara Vyasa is really his pen name. The name is meaningful, since his magnum opus is a translation of the Sanskrit Mahabharata, written by the famous poet Vyasa. Kumara Vyasa literally means Little Vyasa or Son of Vyasa.
