Malik Muhammad Jayasi (1495?-1542)
Malik Muhammad Jayasi, who resided in Jayas, established a flow of love-linked cult (Premashrayi Dhara) in 'Nirgun Brahmopasana' selecting the medium of the story of 'Padmawati' and 'Ratnasen'. By subjugation (meeting) and seperation- 'Sanyoga' and 'Viyoga', he dictated the lession of Gyan and Yoga. Accepting this very basic conception Jayasi in his 'Padmavat' writes indicating lusty worldly love and spiritual unworldly love in 'Masanavi Shaili'. The object of Jayasi is to find his most beloved God by love. This love-current, this stream of love in his poetry, is the chief aim of Jayasi, and that he found.Kabir Das (1398-1518)

Vidyapati
Vidyapati is newly incarnated ‘Jayadev’ that echoed the culture, art and philosophy of Mithila. ‘Naval Jayadev’, ‘Kavi Shekhar’, ‘Rasik-Shiromani’, ‘Sukavi-Kanth har’, ‘Raj pandit’, Nav-Kavishekhar’, ‘Kaviratna’, Kaviranjan’ like several adjectives and subnames decorated this excellent poet. In his local tongue and tone he expanded the sweetness of village-lore and songs, and Padaas. He established the lyrical poetic tradition through his sweet songs of devotion and love, and proved that the local language has a world abroad - “Desil Bayanaa Sab Jag Mittha’’ (देसिल बयना सब जन मिट्ठा )
Vidyapati took birth in ‘Vispi’ village of Mithila in a Brahmin family nearly in year 1375 of Christe Calender. His father ‘Ganapati Thakur’ the raj pandit and poet in the court of Ganesh Ray, the king of Mithila, took his son with him in the court of the king. Much possibility is assumed that Vidyapati too pleased the lovers of poetry like his father from his childhood.
