Sharma notes that Narahari expands upon the obscure passages in the source text and directs polemical barbs against the commentaries by [[Adi Shankara|Sankara]] and [[Ramanuja]].{{sfn|Sharma|2000|p=299}} Though presumably not of Kannada origin, many of his works were in that language although only three of his compositions in [[Kannada]] survive.{{ref|a}} Narahari and [[Sripadaraja]] are considered to be the forerunners of the [[Haridasa]] movement by penning songs and hymns, mostly containing the teachings of Madhva in simplified terms and set to music in the vernacular [[Kannada]] language. Traditionally, Narahari is also considered to be the founder of [[Yakshagana]] and [[Bayalaata]], a dance form which still flourishes in parts of Karnataka and [[Kasargod]] in present-day [[Kerala]].
