'''Gunavarma I''' was an early [[Kannada language]] poet who authored two ''[[Mahakavya]]'' (epic poems), the ''Shudraka'' and the ''Harivamsha'' around 900 CE.<br />
<br />
His works are considered extinct but are found referenced in later years. According to historians Kamath and Narasimhacharya (also a Kannada language expert), he was patronised by [[Western Ganga Dynasty]] King Ereganga Neetimarga II (also called Ereyappa) in the late 9th century and early 10th century period.<ref>Kamath (2001), p50</ref><ref>Narasimhacharya (1988), p18</ref><br />
