Lakshmisa's Kannada Jaimini Bharata

Variant

The Ashvamedha is the Mahabharata that Karnataka loved best.

Lakshmisa's Kannada Jaimini Bharata retells the post-war Ashvamedha (horse sacrifice) the Pandavas perform to atone for fratricide, in vardhaka shatpadi verse, praised for upakhyanas and similes. Critics find less Krishna devotion than in Kumara Vyasa. Daniel Sanderson translated it in 1852.
