The Vaishnava Padavali (ベンガル語:বৈষ্ণব পদাবলী)) movement refers to a period in medieval Bengali literature from the 15th to 17th centuries, marked by an efflorescence of Vaishnava poetry often focusing on the Radha-Krishna legend. The term ''padavali'' (also written padaabali) has the literal meaning "gathering of songs" (''pada''=short verse, lyric; ''+vali'' = plural; collection). The padavali poetry reflects an earthy view of divine love which had its roots in the ''Agam'' poetry of Tamil Sangam literature (600 BC–300 AD) and spread into early medieval Telugu (Nannaya, Annamayya) and Kannada literatures (Dasa sahitya). The poetic themes spread rapidly as part of the religious Bhakti movement that proposed an intensely personal form of devotion, following the philosophy of Ramanuja and opposing caste distinctions and other brahministic measures implicit in the theism of Adi Shankaracharya. The movement spread out and attained a pan-India status during the 13th–17th centuries. The accompanying literary movements were marked by a shift from the classical language of Sanskrit, to the local languages (apabhramsha) or derivatives, e.g. the literary language of brajabuli adopted by Vidyapati (14th century). ==History== Vaishnavism and Jagganath Sanskruti in Odisha(Utkala)(Kalinga) set by Sri Jaidev who was born in Puri Prachi valley in Srikhetra Jagannath Puri around late 11 century was a mentor to vaishnavism in bengal. Sri Chaitanya ancestors are also Odisha's Jajpur district is very close to Kapilesvara, the birthplace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's grandfather. It is the place from where His grandfather's family had moved to west Bengal, so Sri caitanya had taken initiation from Odishas brahmanical vaishnav stream and learned vaishnavism from Puri the rasas of Radha Krishna love from Gitagovindam of Sri Jayadev and instructed their followers and thus leads to the birth of Gaudiya Vaishnavism from parent Utkala-Odiya(Kalinga) Vaishnavism. Vidyapati in Mithila (14th century) and Chandidas (late 14th century) in Birbhum. Chandidas was among the earliest poets in the nascent Bengali language, and many of his poems deal with the Radha-Krishna theme. In 1474, Maladhar Basu translated the 10th and 11th cantos of the Sanskrit Srimad Bhagavatam (composed c. 9th century), into the Bengali poem ''SriKrsnaVijay''. Maladhar focused on Krishna's divine life, with the 10th canto relating the legends of Krishna as a child, and his Leela with the Gopis in Vrindavana. He was honoured by Rukunuddin Barbak Shah with the title ''Gunaraj Khan''. Although neither Chandidas nor Maladhar Basu were Vaishnavas,〔 they were to lay the foundation for much of the following Vaishnava poetry in Bengal. 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「Vaishnava Padavali」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
