Krittibas Ojha

His work, edited by Jaygopal Tarkalankar, was published by the Serampore Mission Press.

[1] Krittibas Ojha was born in a Kanyakubja Brahmin family at Phulia village of modern-day Nadia district in the Indian state of Paschimbanga (West Bengal).

At the age of 11, Krittibas was sent to North Bengal (in other opinion, to Nabadwip) for higher studies.

After finishing studies he was traditionally honoured by the King of Gauda himself by the offerings of a garland, some sandal water and a silk scarf.

The identity of the 'King of Gaur', who is described by Krittibas to be on good terms with the Hindu population, is hotly debated.
