Explanation:

Composed in the twelfth century by Jayadeva, who is believed to have been the court poet of Lakshmana Sen of Bengal, Gita Govinda, the ‘Song of the Cowherd’, is a lyrical poem in Sanskrit, evoking shringara rasa, portraying the mystical love between Radha and Krishna through worldly imageries.

Bihari Satsai, authored by Bihari Lal, constituting 700 verses (satsai), is composed in the form of aphorisms and moralising witticism. It is largely held that he composed the Satsai around 1662 while he was at the court of Jaipur working for Mirza Raja Jai Singh as the patron’s name appears in several verses of the Satsai. The Satsai has been largely painted at Mewar and less frequently in the Pahari School.

Keshav Das, the composer of 'Rasikapriya,' was the court poet of Raja Madhukar Shah of Orchha.

Scholar Anand Coomaraswamy in 1916 coined the term ‘Rajput Paintings’ to refer to these as most rulers and patrons of these kingdoms were Rajputs.
