Gopalakrishna Gokhale had immense influence on DVG. Other than the biography of Diwan Rangacharlu, the biography of Gopalakrishna Gokhale by DVG is a much appreciated one.

These very values of the author were reiterated in his second biography of Gopalakrishna Gokhale.

Like the growing tail of Hanuman in Lanka, Questions and problems keep "Surging forth for this talkative, a stammerer, Marula Muniya" No Comic story is this Kagga, nor It is an emotional outpouring, Stuff it is for cogitation in mind, Enjoy each poem, one at a time, Marula Muniya There are 825 poems in this book, 120 poems less than the number of poems in Kagga. These are the stray poems of DVG which have been collected together and published after his death. Marula Muniyana Kagga is practically the extension of Mankuthimmana Kagga. G wrote a sequel to Mankuthimmana Kagga, known as Marula Muniyana Kagga. DVG's concern for society was incomparable and he was one of the great persons to serve ‘Kannadanadu’. Though DVG only completed matriculation, he gained tremendous knowledge to become a preeminent literary name in Karnataka. DVG was a titan among Kannada writers, says Ranganatha Sharma. Throwing light on life in its various aspects, this inspiring literature sends out a positive message to all: live, learn, grow and be a blessing to your surroundings. Translated twice into English, this work has its renderings in Hindi and Sanskrit too. Countless similes, metaphors and multitude of choice expressions make the reading of the Kagga thoroughly delightful. Facing life's challenges with cheerfulness, understanding everything as a divine play, recognizing our own and others needs, honoring human aspirations and dreams, working for noble causes and above all, dissolving our ego in mature thinking are among the great thoughts that the Kagga offers.

The title of this work can be translated as "Dull Thimma's Rigmarole". Published in 1943, Mankuthimmana Kagga is one of the best known of the major literary works in Kannada.
