 Gajaga where Gaja is a Sanskrit word for elephant and whose earlier name was Gajankusha was a very old Kannada author of 9th/10th century who has been mentioned in Shabdamanidarpana a comprehensive and authoritative work on Kannada grammar authored by Kesiraja in 1260 CE as a pathbreaking poet of the Rashtrakuta literature in the Classical Age. Unfortunately no work by Gajaga has survived but there are evidences that suggest that he wrote more than one book.
