Das is an outstanding Oriya poet of the medieval Oriya literature. At the very
early age he went to Srikshetra Puri. It is said that in order to concentrate
on devotional creations he lived in Ekagharia village of Dhenkanal on the bank
of river Brahmani.He was a devoted worshipper of Lord Jagannath and a sincere
follower of the Orissa Vaishnab culture. It is said that he was inflicted with
the horrible disease of leprosy and yet he used to visit the Puri temple of
Lord Jagannath and sing his devotional songs in a most moving voice everyday. A
major part of his life was spent in the holy center of Puri. His mastery over varied
subjects like Sanskrit rhetoric’s, poetics, grammar, scriptures, astrology,
classical medicine etc., made him a figure of eminence. He
also wrote poems on warefare, marraiage manuals, social virtues and mythology.
He also wrote romantic poems. He composed Kavyas, Chhandas,
Chautisas, on scripture based on philosophical and devotional subject. Like the
famous "Vaidehisa Vilash" of Upendra Bhanja starting with 'Ba' in the
beginning of each line, Dinakrushna's 'Rasa Kallol' written in 'Ka' beginning
is regarded as a wonderful creation of this versatile genius.
He earned a great reputation in writing Chautisa and
other lyrical poems about Radha and Krushna. Rasakallola is not only his best,
but also a unique piece of poetry in Oriya literature.
