==Literary contributions==
PuTiNa was one of the catalysts of the Navodaya style of Kannada literature. According to Lakshminarayana Bhat, "At a broader level, the growth of the Navodaya style of literature resembles the growth of the writings of PuTiNa".<ref name="wb4">{{cite web|url=http://www.ourkarnataka.com/skharihareshwara/putina1.htm|title=An analysis of Pu. Ti. Narasimhachar's work|work=OurKarnataka.com|access-date=21 March 2009}}</ref> In his first collection of poems ''Hanathe'', he conveys profound insights into significant moments in life by using a simple language and style. Many of PuTiNa's writings detail the beauty and majesty of nature, bordering on the spiritual.<ref name="bk6">K. M. George (1992), p174</ref> Two of his well-known writings are ''Ahalye'', which subtly narrates the conflict between [[kama]] and [[dharma]], and ''Gokula Nirgamana'', which narrates the departure of [[Krishna]] from [[Gokula]].<ref name="sis">Sisir Kumar Das (1995), p766</ref> PuTiNa's essays reflect his dominant poetic personality.<ref name="ama">Amaresh Datta (1988), p1220</ref>
