Assamese poetry is poetry in Assamese language. It borrows many themes from Sanskrit literature, and is mainly devotional in tone. The origins of Assamese poetry are considered to have taken place in the early 13th century, the ''Bhagavat Purana'' being one of the most notable examples ==History== Sanskrit literature, the fountain head of most of the Indian literature, supplied not only the themes of medieval Assamese literature, but also has inspired many a writer of modern Assamese literature to undertake creative writings in context of modern literary trends and styles. Literature starting with poetry in Sanskrit was mainly devotional in tone and tenor, and so does the Assamese version. Since all the adaptations are being rooted in Sanskrit, making no contrary to this Assamese literature (poetry) was at the devotional tone and tenor. The starting of Assamese Poetry is marked with the adaptation from Sanskrit ''puranas'' into Assamese by the poet-scholar ''Hema Saravswati'' in the early 13th century. His first adaptation was ''Prahlad-Charita'' adapted from ''Vamana Purana''. Starting with a very few adaptations, Assamese Poetry were of devotional type in the very beginning. Later the adaptations got divided into two types - religious and secular. During the period of Vaishnavite revivalism, the secularism trend got into much demand. The Bhagavat Purana was considered to be the most important among all the puranas. Sankardev (1449–1568), the initiator of the Bhakti movement, started the process of translating and adapting different books and episodes of Bhagavat-Purana by rendering more than seven books (SKANDHA) and composed a few kabyas basing on that. He was the introducer of ''BORGEET'', the most initial form of Assamese poems. (There is still confusion to call them poems since they were sung with musical instruments like KHOL and TAAL).〔Akademi, p. 62〕
