HariVijaya is a devotional literature composed by Shridhar Swami Nazarekar (1658-1729), a popular Marathi poet in the 17-18th century. [1] It literally means 'Victory to God Hari'. [2]

He mentions Harivijay (Victory to God Hari [Shiva]), Ramavijay (Victory to Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu), Shivlilamrit (The Nectar of Shiva's Play), and Laghu-Guru-Charitra (The Story of Guru [the God Dattatreya]). These collections of legends about gods and supernatural figures are typical of traditional Marathi vernacular literature. The first three are by Shridhar (1678- 1728), the most prolific of marathi poets.
