About the text and author

Gītagovinda of Jayadeva is one of the most popular texts of Bhakti literature, particularly popular in the Prachina Sampradaya Bhajan tradition, where the Ashtapadis form a very important part. Though it is superficially a shringara kavya, the core is purely divine, leading the devotee (Jivatma) on to the path of union with the Lord (Paramatma).

The Gita Govinda is organized into twelve chapters. Each chapter is further sub-divided into twenty-four divisions called Prabandhas. The prabandham contains couplets grouped into eighths, called Ashtapadis.

Jayadeva was a Sanskrit poet during the 12th century. His parents were Bhojadeva and Ramadevi. From temple inscriptions it is now known that Jayadeva received his education in Sanskrit poetry from a place called Kurma Pataka, possibly near Konark in Odisha .
