Dinakrushna Dasa (Odia: ଦୀନକୃଷ୍ଣ ଦାସ, romanized: Dīnakṛṣṇa Dāsa, Odia: [t̪aːriɳi t͡ʃɔɾɔɳɔ paːt̪ɾɔ] ⓘ; 1650–1710) was an Odia poet, belonging to the Vaishnava tradition of Bhakti movement. He is known for his Odia poem titled "Rasakallola", which is devoted to Lord Krishna.[1] Among his many literary compositions, "Artatrana Chautisa" is a reputed one.[2][3] Dinakrusna's Rasakallola and his standalone compositions including "chaupadi", "prabhati", "janana", "chautisa", "bhajana", and "malasri" are central to the repertoire of Odissi music, the traditional classical music of the state.
