Lakshmi Naranappa was born on 24 January 1870 in Nandalike in [[Karkala]] taluk in [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. His father was Pathaali Timmappaiah and mother Mahalakshmamma.

==Muddana==
As a young man, Muddana was modest and shy. He therefore published some of his initial works anonymously. These published literary works include ''Adbhuta Ramayanam'' (in modern Kannada prose style), ''Sri Rama Pattabhishekam'' (242 Shatpadi format poetry stanzas), ಹಾಗೂ ''Sri Ramashwemedham'' (reputedly his greatest work{{Citation needed|date= October 2012}}).

Muddana had informed to the publisher that, these works were written by ancient people and that he got these works through his ancestors, and that he did not have any kind of additional information. In the years 1895, 1896 and 1899–1901, these literary works were first published by M.A. Ramanuja Iyyangar and S.G. Narasimhachar of [[Mysore]], [[Karnataka]] in their magazines ''Karnataka Kavya Manjari'' and ''Karnataka Kavya Kalaanidhi''. Muddana had already sent several of his other works for publishing, in the name of "ancient works", that helped the publisher to believe even these three important works to be of ancient origin and not from Muddana.

His authorship was still unknown at the time of his death in 1901. It emerged in 1929 (that is, 28 years after his death), when Central College Karnataka Association in Bangalore published its ''Muddana Commemorative Edition'' book. At that time, Muddana's friends, fellow writers such as [[Panje Mangesh Rao|Panje Mangesharaya]], Benegal Rama Rao, Hurali Bheema Rao, Malali Subba Rao gathered and aggregated all the information they had about Muddana, and proved that those three literary works were indeed written by Muddana and no one else.

In the story ''Muddana Manorameya Sarasa sallapa'', during one night sweet conversation with his beloved wife Manorame, who was requesting him to say romantic stories instead of traditional stories. He heartily compares his beloved language Kannada to Kasthuri.("'''kannadam katthuriyalthe"'''), which tells us the love, affection,gratitude he had for Kannada language.He says Kannada smells so pleasantly as kasthuri(Kasthuri(musk) is a substance secreted by Deer musk to attract the female counter, Alternatively it was extensively used as a natural Perfume in Royal courts and temples also as a human spray during olden days as it was renowned for its pleasant odour).<ref>[https://kn.wikisource.org/s/65p ಮೈಸೂರು ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾನಿಲಯ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ/ಮುದ್ದಣ (ನಂದಳಿಕೆ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀನಾರಾಯಣಯ್ಯ)-University of Mysore encyclopedia- Muddana Nadalike lakshminarayanayya]</ref>

==In popular culture==

Muddana Jayanti ("Muddana Birth Anniversary") is celebrated every year in Muddana's birthplace of Nandalike in Karnataka.{{Citation needed|date= October 2012}} In 1979, under the leadership of Nandalike Balachandra Rao, a cultural board ''Kavi Muddana Smaraka Mitra Mandali'' was formed as a memorial for Muddana. Also, Muddana Memorial building (''Kavi Muddana Smaraka Bhavana'') was constructed in 1987.{{Citation needed|date= October 2012}}
