Bhagavat of Sankardeva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bhagavat of Sankardeva is the adaptation of the Bhagavata Purana made by Srimanta Sankardeva in 15th-16th century in the regions that form present-day Assam and Cooch Behar. Though the major portions of the work was transcreated by Sankardeva, few other writers from that period contributed to the remaining sections.
This book is revered and forms the central religious text for the followers of Sankardeva (Mahapuruxiya Dharma). The text is not a literal translation from the original Sanskrit into the vernacular but it is an adaptation to the local milieu in language and content.
