'''Rāmabhadrāmbā''' was a poet and [[Queen consort|consort]] of the [[Thanjavur Nayak]] king [[Raghunatha Nayak]] (r. 1600-34). She wrote the Sanskrit epic ''[[Raghunathabhyudayam]]'', a biography of her husband. Ramabhadramba was also a disciple of the Telugu poet [[Chengalva Kalakavi]]. Tharu and Lalita says that she "could compose poetry in three languages and was an expert in ''[[Ashtavadhanam]]'' (the capacity to attend to eight different intellectual activities at the same time)." They also claim that she was a historian who left behind "accounts of the political and military events in Raghunandanayaka's reign" and has documented the presence of several women composers in the court. <br />
