'''Sarvajña''' ([[Kannada]]: {{lang|kn|'''ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ'''}}) was a [[Kannada]] poet, [[pragmatism|pragmatist]] and philosopher of the 16th century. The word "Sarvajna" in Sanskrit literally means "the all knowing". He is famous for his pithy three-lined poems called ''[[tripadi]]'' (written in the native three-line verse metre, "with three [[pada (foot)|pada]]s, a form of ''[[Vachanas|Vachana]]''"). He is also referred as '''Sarvagna''' in modern translation.<ref>{{cite web|title=ಕವಿ ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ (Poet Sarvajna)|url=http://kanaja.in/?p=14749|website=kanaja.in , [[Kanaja]]|access-date=28 September 2017}}</ref> | '''Sarvajña''' ([[Kannada]]: {{lang|kn|'''ಸರ್ವಜ್ಞ'''}}) was a [[Kannada]] poet, [[pragmatism|pragmatist]] and philosopher of the 16th century.
