Madhava Kandali
Kaviraja Madhava Kandali (14th century) was an Indian poet from the state of Assam. His Saptakanda Ramayana is considered the earliest translation of the Ramayana into an Indo-Aryan language, Assamese.[1] Another significant work of his is the narrative poem Devajit, which is about superiority of Krishna over the other avatars of Vishnu.[2] Kandali's patron was the Barāha King Mahamanikya (mid 14th century)[3] whose kingdom was located in the Kapili valley.[4] Kabiraja Madhava Kandali was said to be inhabitant of Lanka of Undivided Nagaon.[5]
