Yadavabhyudayam, an epic poem from South India by Vedanta Desika (1268 – 1369 CE), describes the life and activities of Sri Krishna against the background of the philosophy of Vishishtadvaita, following the general pattern of epic poems (Mahakavyas). The story for Yadavabhyudayam is taken from Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana. Vedanta Desika, also known as Venkatanatha, was a great exponent of Visishtadvaita, the philosophical school of qualified monism. The poem, in twenty four cantos, consists of 2,643 verses in diverse meters. Vedanta Desika takes up each episode in the life of Krishna and gives it a poetic touch with a philosophical interpretation. The sixth canto is devoted to the display of poetic embellishment through the sounds of words. He follows the style of Kalidasa. As the author has a very good command of the language, he is able to change his style to suit the sentiment. The aerial view of the country is described in the eighteenth canto; the death of Narakasu
