Jaidevis a celebrated Sanskrit poet and a saint, known for the composition the Gītagovind. The poem is especially dedicated to Lord Krsna. It emphasizes on the Krsna love for Radha. Here poet made an attempt to reach to the audience who wish to enjoy Krsna divine love through esthetic experience. Jayadeva has given an erotic flavor in his writing which is also a subject of criticism as love with divine does not know whether God is male or female. This has been highlighted by citing the example of Caitanya's love for Krsna. More interestingly it captures the images of love and separation in the erotic literature of early medieval India.
