Abhimanyu is said to have attempted the substitution of his idol 
for that of his guru. Disgusted (partly from jealousy too), Sada- 
nanda removed his things to Diksitapara, and founded the present 
math. This village is situated on the north of Kendrapara canal. 
The present Adhikari puts his date roughly at 150 years old. The date 
seems approximately correct. At the time Premakala was written 
(about 1777 A.D.), Sadananda was the teacher of Abhimanyu and 
was probably 30 to 40 years old, nearer 40 than otherwise. Hence 
Sadananda was some twenty years older than his pupil, and may 
be said to have flourished in the third quarter of the eighteenth 
century. 
No large work is attributed to Sadananda. He composed numer¬ 
ous songs and several small pieces, all dealing with Radha and Krsna. 
The tradition is that the songs passing under the name of Astadurga- 
natha were really Sadananda’s; he passed them off as Athgara 
king’s, probably for good consideration. The present Adhikari has 
supplied me with the following list of his works :— 
1. Laliarl 
2. Bhauri drWt). 
3. Cauri (^faft). 
4. Tattvataraqgini, Parts l-III 
5. PremataraqginI 
6. Namacintamani (). 
7. Nisthanilamani 
8. Premakalpalata rlT,). 
9. Samudra (*OT)- 
10. Mohanalata ( 
11. Bisvambharabihara (f^^rcf^K)* 
12. Pataradabali (?) 
13. Caitanyabhagabata 
14. Curi (?) Cintamani 
I have seen only one work of his, Namacintamani (No. 6) and 
several songs. Caitanyabhagabata (No. 13) if a poem, is probably an

“ By attendance on the feet of the Guru, Krsna and Vaisnavas, the imaginative 
power of poetry took its birth in my heart. Through the favour of (Irimata Sada¬ 
nanda Kavisuryabrahma I have attained the extreme of poetical path.” 
The Premakala was begun in the author’s 20th year, as noted by him later on 
1st Ch. 1. Ill, Folio 4.
