Much like there is Mirabai in the North, there was ‘X’ here. Only, her
absolute devotion was to Shiva. Her story is marked by radical
devotion and social rebellion.
As a young woman, she rejected a proposal from a local king,
Kaushika, choosing instead spiritual union with Shiva. X’s poetry,
composed as vachanas (simple, poignant Kannada verses), expresses
her mystical experiences, intense love for Shiva, and social defiance.
While wandering through the towns, she logically found herself
aligned with a larger movement of the time- Y.
