Koti Brahmanda Sundari

Kabi Samrata Upendra Bhanja was a 17th-century Odia poet-composer of classical Odissi music.He is most known for his Odissi songs and kabyas written in the Odia language, primarily Baidehisa Bilasa, Labanyabati & Koti Brahmanda Sundari.

He was born during 1670 (opinions differ between 1670 and 1688) at Kulagarh now known as Kulada , a princely state in Bhanjanagar, 80 km from the Silk City Berhampur Of south Odisha and died during 1740 (again opinions vary).

Upendra Bhanja wrote some 52 books of which only 22 are available now. Due to the absence of a printing press, many of the hand-copied books have been lost. Some of his eminent kabyas are Baidehisha Bilasa (with “Ba” initial for each line), Rasalila, Brajaleela, Subhadra Parinaya(with “Sa” initial for every line), Labanyabati, Premasudhanidhi, Rasika Harabali, Subhadra Parinaya and Chitrakabya Bandodhya, Labanyabati, Koti Brahmanda Sundari, Kala Koutuka (with “Ka” initial for every line), Satisha Bilasa” (with initial ‘Sa’ initial every line), “Damayanti Bilasa” (with ‘Da’ initial each line) and “Padmabati Parinaya” (starts with ‘Pa’) etc.
