Shantidas Adhikari (Bengali: শান্তিদাস অধিকারী), also known as Shantidas Gosai or Shantidas Goswami, was a Hindu preacher from Sylhet, Bengal, who converted King Pamheiba of Manipur from Sanamahism, the traditional Meitei religion, to Gaudiya Vaishnavism in 1717 CE.
He composed the Vijay Panchali (also spelt Bijoy Panchali in Bengali), in which he projected the land of Manipur in northeast India as the Manipur of the Mahabharata and claimed Babruvahana (Arjuna's son) as the father of Meitei king Nongda Lairen Pakhangba. His work identified Nongda Lairen Pakhangba as "Yavistha".[1][2][clarification needed]
