Later in 1369 A.D., it was translated to Kannada language by Bhima Kavi, this version contains detailed description and in time was considered his standard biography. There are several Kannada and Sanskrit Lingayath puranas inspired by Bhima Kavi's Basava Purana. This Telugu purana was first translated into English by C.P. Brown, a British administrator in colonial south India, in 1863. (en)
