[[Jayadeva]] was an 11th-century Sanskrit [[poet]] and [[lyricist]] from present-day India. The '''works of Jayadeva''' have had a profound influence on Indian culture. They form the basis of the east Indian classical dance form, [[Odissi]] as well as traditional classical music of the state, [[Odissi music]] and have strongly influenced the [[Bharatanatyam]] classical dance as well as [[Carnatic music]]. Jayadeva's composition has also been incorporated in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]].

==Religion==
{{Hinduism}}
Jayadeva has had a profound influence on the religious practices of [[Hinduism]]. The classic ''[[Tribhangi]]'' (threefold) posture of [[Krishna]] playing the flute gained popularity due to him.

===Dashavatara===
Jayadeva was instrumental in popularizing the ''[[Dasavatara]]'', the ten incarnations of Krishna in his composition ''Dasakritikrite''. Additionally, the Gita Govinda begins with a Dasavatara [[stotra]]. In Jayadeva's version of Dasavatara, [[Buddha]] is an incarnation of [[Vishnu]], while [[Krishna]] is not incorporated because Krishna is the source of all incarnations. as the lyrics say: keshava dhrta buddha sarira= krishna who appears in the form of Lord Buddha. Since Keshava is another name of Krishna, that means Krishna is the source of/incarnate as Buddha.

In July 2009, the [[government of India]]'s Department of Posts decided to release 11 stamps in Bhubaneswar to commemorate the birth of Jayadeva. One stamp depicts the poet himself, while the other ten depict the Dasavatara.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2009/07/28/stories/2009072852830300.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616202305/http://www.hindu.com/2009/07/28/stories/2009072852830300.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 June 2010 |title=Commemorative stamp on Jayadev released| location=Chennai, India |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=28 July 2009}}</ref> Chief Minister [[Naveen Patnaik]] unveiled the stamps at a special function in Jayadev Bhawan.

A total of 800,000 stamps were released for sale in [[Odisha]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://orissadiary.com/CurrentNews.asp?id=13639 |title=Orissa CM releases postal stamp on poet Jaydev|year=2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tathya.in/2009/story.asp?sno=3133|title=Postal stamp on Jayadev|year=2009}}</ref>

===Hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib===
Two hymns composed by Jayadeva have been incorporated in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]], the holy book of the [[Sikh]] religion. Although it is not clear how these medieval Orissan hymns found their way to the Sikh religion, there are records narrating how Jayadeva's work had a profound influence on [[Guru Nanak]] during his visit to Puri.<ref>[http://orissagov.nic.in/e-magazine/Orissareview/july2003/englishchpter/Visit%20of%20Guru%20Nanak%20to%20Puri.PDF Visit of Guru Nanak]</ref>

==Fine arts==
Jayadeva and his Gita Govinda had gained considerable popularity and had emerged as a painter’s theme by the late 15th century, though no such early paintings are available now. The earliest reported Gita Govinda paintings are from Mewar between 1590 and 1600 A.D.

===Patachitra paintings===
The [[Gita Govinda]] composed by Jayadeva is one of the popular themes in the traditional ''[[patachitra]]'' paintings of Odisha.<ref>

===Pahari paintings===
Jayadeva had a profound influence on the [[Pahari painting|Pahari]] school during the 17th-19th centuries, which was prevalent throughout northern India bordering the Himalayas (from [[Jammu]] through [[Himachal Pradesh]]). In particular, Jayadeva's Radha and Krishna served as popular themes for [[Basohli painting]] in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=8EGUpX1O0hoC&pg=RA2-PA62&dq=Kangra+painting&as_brr=0 Pahari centres] ''Arts of India: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Music, Dance and Handicraft'', by Krishna Chaitanya. Published by Abhinav Publications, 1987. {{ISBN|81-7017-209-8}}. Page 62.</ref>

==The Gita Govinda==
{{Main|Gita Govinda}}
[[File:Westindischer Maler um 1550 001.jpg|thumb|300px|right|[[Gita Govinda]] manuscript c. 1500.]]
The [[Gita Govinda]] is the best-known composition of Jayadeva. It is a lyrical poetry that is organized into 12 chapters. Each chapter is further sub-divided into 24 divisions called ''prabandha''s. The prabandhas contain couplets grouped into eights, called ''Ashtapadis''.

The first English translation of the Gita Govinda was published by Sir William Jones in 1792. Sir William Jones in the preface of his English rendering of GitaGovinda had commented:
<blockquote>"Jayadeva was born as he tells himself in Kenduli which many believe to be in Kalinga, but since there is a town of similar name in Burdwan, the natives of it insist that the finest lyrical poet of India was their countryman."</blockquote>
At last the village Kenduli in Burdwan (Division) was accepted in his paper 'The Musical Modes of Hindus' written by Jones himself. Since then, the Gita Govinda has been translated to many languages throughout the world and is considered to be among the finest examples of Sanskrit poetry. Noteworthy among them is [[Love Song of the Dark Lord]], by Barbara Stoler Miller.

==Other literary contributions==
Jayadeva wrote [[Piyusha Lahari]], a Sanskrit Goshti Rupaka.<ref>Piyusha Lahari published in Nagari Script in the Journal of The Kalinga Historical Research Society, vol 1, part 4</ref> It was based on the romantic love between Radha and Krishna similar in line to Gita Govindam. It was translated into Telugu by [[Vavilala Somayajulu]] and published in 1993 by [[Telugu University]] in 1990.<ref>Piyusha Lahari, Telugu translation by Vavilala Somayajulu with original Sanskrit script, edited by Dr. V.V.L. Narasimha Rao, Telugu University publication series No. 104, Hyderabad, 1990.</ref>
