Harivilasakavya is an epic poem by Lolambaraja of the 14th century CE. Certain biographical acts are made known by the author himself in this work. He was the son of Divakara Suri and was patronized by King Bhoja. Harihara I, founder of Vijayanagara empire, was not a contemporary of King Bhoja of Dhara; hence scholars opine that Lolambaraja should have been in the court of Harihara I of the 14 th century CE and King Bhoja referred to by lolambaraja should be some other king extolled as Bhoja. Nothing is known about the personal life of the poet. There is a legend that Lolambaraja was brought up by his elder brother and was little interested in studies. Once he was insulted harshly by the wife of his brother. Dejected, Lolambaraja made a vow to learn all the vidyas and prayed to Goddess Mahishasuramardini of Saptasringagiri wand was blessed by Her. Lolambaraja has also written an Ayurvedic text, Vaidya Jivana in 100 verses, explaining various treatments and medicines for ailments.
