He authored four books in Kannada, edited about nine volumes, penned eleven prefaces, wrote nearly hundred articles (both in Kannada and English) across three decades, seven monographs in English and outlined introductions to four Kannada works. He presided over the forty first Kannada Sahitya Sammelan (Annual Kannada Language Conference) held at [[Bidar]] in 1960.

== Early life and education ==
[[File:B.A.Honours-Second Year - Maharaja College, Mysore (1940s).jpg|thumb|left|B. A. Honours II Year Maharaja College Group Photo showing B. M. Srikantaiah, S. Srikanta Sastri, D. L. Narasimhachar and G. Venkatasubbiah]]
D. L. Narasimhachar's younger years were spread out across the district of [[Tumakuru district|Tumku]]<nowiki/>r in the southern state of Karnataka - in towns like [[Pavagada]], [[Madhugiri]] and Sira. Hailing from a Brahminical family, D. L. N. was trained in chaste Sanskrit from a Pandit. Narasimhachar's writing began at an early stage with recurrent contributions to the local school magazine "School Folk". For his Bachelor's degree (1927), he sought admission to the [[Central College of Bangalore|Central College]] at Bangalore. There he had taken Kannada as an optional subject (in addition to his primary subjects - Physics and Chemistry). Incidentally, his score in the optional subject was his highest, this eventually steered him to complete his Master's degree in Kannada at the [[Maharaja's College, Mysore|Maharaja College, Mysore]] (1929). His contemporaries at [[Maharaja's College, Mysore|Maharaja College, Mysore]] were future literary names like [[Kuvempu|K. V. Puttappa]], K. V. Raghavachar, Anantharangachar and K. Venkataramappa. The faculty at Maharaja College, Mysore included [[B. M. Srikantaiah]], [[Rallapalli Ananta Krishna Sharma|Rallapalli Anantha Krishna Sharma]], [[V. Seetharamaiah]], C. R. Narasimha Sastry, [http://www.shastriyakannada.org/DataBase/KannwordHTMLS/CLASSICAL%20KANNADA%20SCHOLARS%20HTML/VENKANNAIAH%20T.S.%20HTML.htm T. S.

R. Krishna Shastry]]. During his free time, he would frequent Oriental Research Library to peruse old Kannada manuscripts. The [[H. V.

Narasimhachar in 1929.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.srikanta-sastri.org/d-l-narasimhachar/4594532068|title=D. L. Narasimhachar (1) – Dr S.

==Academician==
[[File:Oriental Research Institute, Mysore 03.jpg|left|thumb|'''Oriental Research Library, Mysore''']]
D. L. Narasimhachar began his career as a research assistant at the [[Oriental Research Institute Mysore|Oriental Research Library, Mysore]]. He simultaneously held the position of a part-time lecturer in Kannada at the Maharaja College Kannada Department. An ongoing research project dedicated to the 'timing' of the earliest Veerashaiva literature caught his attention. He became the first recipient of the research grant set aside for this scholarly endeavour. After his departure from the Oriental Research Library, he was appointed a full time lecturer at the college in 1932 and continued in the same post till 1939. For a brief tenure of two years, he taught at present-day Yuvaraja College, Mysore before coming back to his parent department, where he taught till the end of the Second World War.

In late 1945, he received a promotion to the post of Assistant Professor and was transferred to Central College, Bangalore. By the end of the decade, he was back in Mysore as Associate Professor in the department where he started his career. In 1954, he was appointed Chief Editor of the ‘Kannada-Kannada’ Dictionary Project . D. L. Narasimhachar spent the remainder of his years till retirement in 1962 serving at Mysore in the capacity of Professor of Kannada Language Studies. His career spanned thirty years from 1932 - 1962.

The [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] (U. G. C.) extended a Post-Doctoral Fellowship to D. L. N. from 1962 onwards for the next six years.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book|title=Ḍi. El.

D. L. Narasimhachar's scholarship was along two lines - "Textual Criticism" and "Independent Research". His involvement in the "Kannada - Kannada' Dictionary project saw him bring out the first edition of the dictionary during those years. He succeeded [[T. N. Srikantaiah]] in this project after his demise. D. L. N.'s guide to Editorship titled "Kannada Grantha Sampadane" is among his remembered works. Between 1959 - 63, he was the Editor of the University of Mysore's Journal "Prabuddha Karnataka". His introductions to [[K. S. Narasimhaswamy|K. S. Narasimha Swamy]]'s "Shilalathe", "Vaddaradhane",<ref name="ವಡ್ಡಾರಾಧನೆ">{{cite book |last1=Narasiṃhācār |first1=Ḍi.

Narasimhachar was involved in Epigraphical Studies across the state. His knowledge of [[Old Kannada|Halegannada]] helped him decipher much of these inscriptions. He delivered numerous lectures on the Mysore Akashvani (later [[All India Radio]]). His publication titled "Pīṭhikegaḷu, lēkhanagaḷu" was a compendium of his earlier essays and lectures spanning three decades.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Pīṭhikegaḷu, lēkhanagaḷu.|last=Narasiṃhācār|first=Ḍi.
