Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

: Shodhganga: A comparative study of the devotional vaisnavite lyrics of Assam and Bengal

³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾± (विदà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤ªà¤¤à¤�) was a Maithili court-poet and composed songs in Maithili. His period of life is guessed to be between 1380 A.D. and 1460 A.D. ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±â€™s language, though termed as Maithili, is nevertheless an admixure of Maithili and Avahaá¹­á¹­ha of Apabhraṃśa. In imitation of ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±, the Vaiṣṇava poets of eastern India created a language namely Brajabuli which contains an admixure of Hindi and Maithili words saturated by their own native forms and idioms.

“³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾� is also similar to [Piṇá¸apÄtra LokeÅ›vara], except that here the god shows the empty right hand against his chest while his left holds the lotus. The chowrie hangs from his right shoulder.—Piṇá¸apÄtra LokeÅ›vara is one-faced and two-armed and stands on a lotus. He holds the Piṇá¸apÄtra (the bowl) in his two hands near the navel.—Piṇá¸apÄtra LokeÅ›vara. He is one-faced and two-armed and stands on a lotus. He holds the Piṇá¸apÄtra (the bowl) in his two hands near the navelâ€�.

The names of the 108 deities [viz., ³Õ¾±»å²âÄå±è²¹³Ù¾±] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvaraâ€�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions.
