Dasa wrote the Odia Bhagabata. It had a great influence in the standardizing of the [[Odia language]]. Its popularity in [[Odisha]] reached to the level of it being worshiped in many homes in Odisha. The villages in Odisha used to have a small house or room known as ''bhagabata tungi'', where villagers would gather to listen to recitations of Dasa's Bhagabata. Many of its verses have become [[proverb]]s and are cited by people throughout Odisha.

The work includes 12 [[volume]]s and each volume has 10-30 [[Chapter (books)|chapter]]s. Each chapter has 50 to 300 [[stanza]]s.
