Description
VIDYÄPATI THÄKUR is one of the most renowned of the Vaishnava poets of HindustÄn. Before him there had been the great JÄyadeva, with his GÄ«tÄ Govinda made in Sanskrit; and it is to this tradition VidyÄpati belongs, rather than to that of RÄmÄnanda, KabÄ«r, and Tul'si DÄs, who sang of RÄma and SÄ«tÄ. VidyÄpati's fame, though he also wrote in Sanskrit, depends upon the wreath of songs (pada) in which he describes the courtship of God and the Soul, under the names of Krishna and RÄdhÄ. These were written in MaithilÄ«, his mother-tongue, a dialect intermediate between BengÄlÄ« and HindÄ«, but nearer to the former. His position as a poet and maker of language is analogous to that of Dante in Italy and Chaucer in England. He did not disdain to use the folk-speech and folk-thought for the expression of the highest matters. Just as Dante was blamed by the classical scholars of Italy, so VidyÄpati was blamed by the pandits: he knew better, however, than they, and has well earned the title of Father of BengÄlÄ« literature.
