Bhattadeva
Bhattadeva (1558–1638)( অসমীয়া: বৈকুণ্ঠনাথ ভাগৱত ভট্টাচাৰ্য), (Baikunthanatha Bhagavata Bhattacharya) is acknowledged as the father of Assamese prose. Though ''Bhaktiratnakar-katha'', the Assamese translation of Sankardev's Sanskrit composition ''Bhaktiratnakar'' by Gopala Charana Dwija preceded the works of Bhattadeva, Bhattadeva's prose had an influence in the development of a high and dignified style. Bhattadeva's and Gopala Charana Dvija's 16th century works are considered to be the earliest examples of prose in Indian languages. Bhattadeva's erudition in Sanskrit grammar and literature, and his command over the Bhagavata earned him the title of ''Bhagavata Bhattacharya''. Biography Bhattadeva was born to Chandra Bharati and Tara Devi in a Brahmin family of Bichankuchi, Bajali ( Kamrup). After finishing his education he became a disciple of Damodara Deva and succeeded him as the head of Patbausi satra at Ba ...
