Leben
[edit]Shastry was the first scholar to extensively study and research manuscripts called Kadata.[citation needed] He also studied more than a hundred thousand palm leaf and paper manuscripts.[citation needed]
Shastry's research focuses on social, political, economic and religious aspects of Sringeri Dharmasamsthana in particular and Karnataka in general, during this time period.[citation needed]
Shastry's major work involves reading, translating/transliterating from "modi kannada" Modi alphabet - an old Kannada script, and generating source material from these manuscripts. He has written several large volumes of source material books that capture these documents verbatim with commentary and analysis.[1] Due to his work on Kadatas, he is known as "Kadata Shastry" in Karnataka's history circles.[citation needed]
He has presided over several state and national level history seminars. He was a professor of history at MES's M. M. College of Arts and Science, Sirsi, affiliated to Karnatak University, Dharwad, from 1964 to 1998.[citation needed]
