Until recently, the origins of the great twelfth-century poet Jayadeva ((オリヤー語:ଜୟଦେବ) (ベンガル語:জয়দেব) (サンスクリット:जयदेव)) had been somewhat obscure, with the two neighboring states of Odisha and Bengal in Eastern India staking a claim to Jayadeva's origins. This had led to a bitter feud between people on both sides, that lasted for over a century.〔 〕 The issue is still debated by scholars. ==The Oriya view== Protagonists of the Oriya viewpoint point out that all of Jayadeva's composition took place when the poet was in Puri, supporting the idea that he must have lived in Puri for most, if not all of his life.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Sanskrit Poets and Scholars Flourished During the Suryavamsi Gajapati Period in Odisha ) 〕 Archaeological discoveries in Odisha establish Jayadeva's extended presence in Odisha. In addition, there also exists a village called ''Kenduli Sasan'' in Odisha where the Hindu deity Krishna, who was also the main theme in Jayadeva's works, has traditionally been worshipped as the main god. Coincidentally, the inhabitants of that village also worship Jayadeva. A ''Sasan'' is a name for villages that traditionally were centers of Brahmin scholarly activity in Odisha, and Jayadeva himself was a Brahmin. Furthermore, researchers opine that Jayadeva is among the centralmost figures in Oriya culture.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Jayadeva and Gitagovinda in the Traditions of Orissa ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Influence of Gitagovinda on Orissa's Culture ) 〕 Jayadeva's works, they observe, have spread to southern India, but are rare in neighboring Bengal.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Musical Saints of India: Excerpts from a musical discourse on Bhakta Jayadeva and Gita Govindam ) 〕 It has been pointed out that the Gita Govinda's influence outside Odisha is most felt in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where verses of the poet's work have been incorporated into the Kuchipudi, Kathakali and Bharatanatyam classical dance forms respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Saints of India Excerpts on a musician discourses on Bhakta Jayadeva and Gita Govindam ) 〕 It is Jayadeva's ashtapadis that are sung in dance performances of Odissi, the classical dance of Odisha.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Dressing Lord Jagannatha in Silk: Cloth, Clothes, and Status ) 〕 Oriya bhajans (devotional songs) are based on ragas and talas specified by Jayadeva's hymns.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Sri Jayadev's Music and Its Impact on the Culture of Odisha ) 〕 Jayadeva was a devotee of Krishna, and Krishna in the form of Jagannath is the central deity of Odisha, whereas the female deity Durga is prominent in Bengal.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=The lord and his land ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=The cult of Jagannath ) 〕 The Gita Govinda composed by Jayadeva is one of the popular themes in the traditional ''patachitra'' paintings of Orissa.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Eminent literary luminaries of Odisha ) 〕 In stark contrast, according to Thomas Donaldson, an American specialist on Indian art history, Jayadeva's ragas do not match the lyrical patterns of Bengal, which unlike Orissa, does not even possess a classical vocal tradition.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=A Cult to Salvage Mankind ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Kamadeva's Pleasure Garden: Orissa ) 〕 The lack of correlation between Bengali traditional music and the compositions of Jayadeva were independently observed in Barbara Stoler Miller's book, Love Song of the Dark Lord. Additionally, a highly Sanskritized and sophisticated classical culture had been firmly entrenched in Odisha during that period, while neighboring Bengal only had a folk based culture until recent times. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jayadeva birth controversy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
