He was a [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnava]] and said to have written a long poem called &#039;&#039;Krishnalila&#039;&#039; which may be the series of Radha Krishna padas composed by him.

His great achievement was metrical perfection added to musical resonance and rhythmic movement. His expressions in superb languages are lucid. His poems on the Radhakrishna legend have a unity of description and treatment in the delineation of Krishna&#039;s sorts and the &#039;&#039;Viraha&#039;&#039; of the Gopis.
