Shunyasampadane (Kannada: ಶೂನ್ಯಸಂಪಾದನೆ Śūnyasampādane) is an anthology of poems in the Kannada language that includes the vachanas and dialogues of several Lingayat saints. It is an important part of the holy scriptures of Lingayatism. The word shunyasampadane can be roughly translated as "the acquisition of nothing" in which shunya translates to "nothingness", "void" or "empty". The more precise translation is 'the Graduated Attainment of the Divine Void'. It is part of the important concepts associated with enlightenment in the Indian traditions.
A record of the dialogues of various saints, the Shunyasampadane is a collection of vachanas of the important poets of the 12th century. The story follows the life and times of the holy mystic Allama Prabhu along his way to Kalyana city to meet Basava and the other Shivasharanas. The editors have woven the narrative through the vachanas into a cohesive story. There are a total of five versions of the Shunyasampadane, of which the first four were composed between 15th and 16th century. The fourth version was edited and printed by P. G. Halakatti in 1930. The last version was edited and printed by Dr. GV Jaya Rajashekhar in 2003.
