Adayya was a senior Shivsharan, orator, in the Saurashtra region of the late 11th and 12th centuries. Contemporaries of Jedaradasimaiah and Gurubasavanna. It can be verified that the names of all popular or uncommon speakers of that time have been mentioned in his verses. Padmavati is the holy feminine name of this sharana. Saurashtra Someshwara is the author of his verses. He originally belonged to Saurashtra i.e. Gujarati. He came to Puligere i.e. present day Lakshmeshwar and started trading there. Then there he meets a Jain maiden named Padmavati. He falls in love with her and offers to marry her. When Padmavati's father did not agree to this marriage, he argued and brought Someshwara from Saurashtra and installed him in the Surahonne Basadi of Puligere to show that he was a true Shiva devotee. The sound of the chants of Kalyana Anvabha Mantap spread everywhere and its fragrance spread even to Lakshmeshwar. Adayana, engrossed in his business, had little interest in spiritual life. But once Adaiya goes to Kalachurya Kalyan for business, he is attracted to the charm of the Sharans by their connections there. Under the influence of their thoughts, they stand there for some time with a burning desire to surrender themselves. From Basavanna, Sarana learned the glory and philosophy of Linga and accepted Lingayat Dharma. After becoming a Bania or Banajiga, Adayya became a Lingayat, practicing Sathya Pure Kayaka and introducing the Sharans to the people, inducing many Bania (who were not Vaishyas, but traders - mostly Jains) traders to join the Lingayat religion. Jains were in majority among them. \n Adaya becomes a Banajiga, marries a Jain maiden, and later installs an idol of Somnath in a Jain residence. Forgetting his mother tongue, Gujarat, he learned Kannada, composed vachanas in it, and became a surrendered vachanakara. After that, when he came in contact with Sharan and became a great vachana writer, he used to come and sit in this same Somnath temple every day after his kayak and write vachanas. It is in this basadi or mandir that they get experience. Adjacent to this Somnath temple is a small shrine which is the mausoleum of the great sage Adaya. Kala Kri, Sh. 1165. 'Saurashtra Someshwara' composed vachanas and swaravachanas in Ankita. 403 verses have been found. There has been extensive discussion of the principles of Sharan Dharma among them.
