Karatala Kamala Kamala Dala Nayana (Assamese: কৰতল কমল কমল দল নয়ন) is a devotional poem by Srimanta Sankardeva of Assam.[1]
Writing
This poem is of great significance as it is one of the very first writings by Sankardeva,[2] whose works later on brought about the widely affecting Vaishnavite movement in Assam.
This poem was written by Sankardeva just after learning the Swarabarnas and the Byanjanbarnas.[3] Any vowel sound (except অ, i.e. o) following a consonant sound in a word in Assamese is denoted by a swarasihna, but it goes that since Sankardeva had not learnt them by the time of writing Karatala Kamala, the poem contains no swarasihnas.[4] Sankardeva wrote the poem when he was of the age of 12 years.[2][5]
