Madhava Kandali

Kaviraja Madhava Kandali (pronounced as Madhob Kondoli in Assamese) (14th century) was an Assamese poet of India, notable for the earliest rendering of the Valmiki Ramayana into Assamese verse (Saptakanda Ramayana). His another work is a narrative poem, Devajit on superiority of Krishna over the other avatars of Vishnu. Kandali's patron was the Kachari King Mahamanikya (Mahamanikpha, 1330-1370), whose kingdom was located in what is present-day Nagaon.
