[[File:Kanhapa.jpg|thumb|Kanha Pa]]<br />
'''Kanha''' or '''Kanhapad''' or '''Kanhupa''' was one of the [[poets]] of ''[[Charyapada|Charjapad]]'', the earliest known example of [[Assamese Literature|Assamese]], [[Odia literature|Odia]] and [[Bengali literature]]. He was a [[Tantric buddhism|tantric Buddhist]] and his poems in Charjyapad are written in a code, whereby every poem has a descriptive or narrative surface meaning but also encodes tantric Buddhist teachings. Some experts believe this was to conceal sacred knowledge from the uninitiated, while others hold that it was to avoid religious persecution.<br />
<br />
In one of his poems, Kanhupa wrote:<br />
<br />
{{blockquote|<br />
Your hut stands outside the city<br />
<br />
Oh, untouchable maid<br />
<br />
The bald Brahmin passes sneaking close by<br />
<br />
Oh, my maid, I would make you my companion<br />
<br />
Kanha is the kapali, a yogi<br />
<br />
He is naked and has no disgust<br />
<br />
There is a lotus with sixty-four petals<br />
<br />
Upon that the maid will climb with this poor self and dance.}}<br />
<br />
The language of Kanhupa's poetry bears a very strong resemblance to modern Odia. For example,<br />
<br />
{{blockquote|<br />
Ekaso padumo chowshathi pakhudi<br />
<br />
Tahin chadhi nachao dombi bapudi}}<br />
<br />
Padumo (Padma:Lotus), Chaushathi (64), Pakhudi (petals) Tahin (there), Chadhi (climb/rise), nachao (to dance), Dombi (an Odia woman belonging to scheduled caste), Bapudi (a very colloquial Odia language to apply as 'poor fellow' )<br />
<br />
or<br />
{{blockquote|<br />
Hali Dombi, Tote puchhami sadbhabe.<br />
<br />
Isisi jasi dombi kahari nabe.}}<br />
<ref>odia language</ref><br />
<br />
These passages do not require any translation into modern Odia language.<br />
