Adipurana deals with the ten lives of the first tirthankara, known as Vrishabhanatha. This work is supposed to be the first work of Kannada poet Adikavi Pampa (941 CE). It is based on the story narrated by Jinasenacharya in his earlier Sanskrit work Purvapurana. Vikramarjuna Vijaya and Adipurana are, in some respects, comparable to Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained.
