Tirumalamba wrote that it was the task of "Arya Mahile", the women concerned about Arya Dharma, to wake up the Mother (land). Tirumalamba wrote a number of poems invoking Kannadaness and the Kannada nation. C.N.Mangala, a noted Kannada critic observes that these were the poems to express Kannada nationalism for the very first time in Kannada. [Chi.Na Mangala. 1991.]
