Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Kabi Samrata Upendra Bhanja (Odia: କବି ସମ୍ରାଟ ଉପେନ୍ଦ୍ର ଭଞ୍ଜ) (born during 1670 (opinions differ between 1670 and 1688) at Kullada, Ghumusara a princely state in Bhanjanagar, 80 km from Berhampur city in south of Odisha and died during 1740 (again opinions differ)) was considered as the greatest poet of Odia Literature and was awarded the title "Kabi-Samrata" (also given as Kabi) – "The Emperor of Poets".[1] Born in a royal family, Upendra Bhanja had never eyed for throne.
His first wife was the sister of the king of Nayagarh and the daughter of the king of Banapur was his second wife, who was an erudite princess and gave Upendra Bhanja poetical inspiration in an abundant measure. His grandfather King Dhananjaya Bhanja was a great poet and wrote Raghunatha Bilasa (The Ramayana), Ratna Manjari (a poetical romance) etc., which provided models to the prince for writing. But unlike his grandfather, he preferred his entire life to poetry rather than to ruling over a kingdom. He had a thorough training in Sanskrit classical literature and mastered Sanskrit dictionaries such as Amara Kosha, Trikanda Kosha and Medini Kosha. He even wrote a dictionary Geetabhidhana in Odia for helping poets. |
