	Vidyapati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vidyapati's position as a poet and maker of language has been described as "analogous to that of Dante in Italy and Chaucer in England."
		Vidyapati is as much known for his love-lyrics as for his poetries dedicated to Lord Shiva.
		The love songs of Vidyapati, which describe the sensuous love story of Radha and Krishna, follow a long line of Vaishnav love poetry, popular in Eastern India, and include much celebrated poetery such as Jayadeva's Gita Govinda of the 12th century.
