Explanation:
Andal was a 9th-century Tamil poet and a devotee of Lord Vishnu. She is highly revered in Tamil Nadu and is known for her compositions in praise of Lord Krishna. Andal saw herself as the beloved of Vishnu; her verses express her love for the deity.
Karaikkal Ammaiyar was a Nayanar, a female devotee of Shiva who adopted the path of extreme asceticism in order to attain her goal.
Mirabai (c. fifteenth-sixteenth centuries) is perhaps the best-known woman poet within the bhakti tradition. Biographies have been reconstructed primarily from the bhajans attributed to her, which were transmitted orally for centuries. According to these, she was a Rajput princess from Merta in Marwar who was married against her wishes to a prince of the Sisodia clan of Mewar, Rajasthan.
Kabir was a Nirguna Poet. Nirguna bhakti was the worship of an abstract form of god. Kabir’s poems have survived in several languages and dialects; and some are composed in the special language of nirguna poets, the sant bhasha.
