Annada Mangal (
Mangalkavya tradition that does not create a separate subgenre, as no other poet ever ventured to praise Annapurna in their works.[2]
Annada Mangal is divided into three Books: Annada Mangal or Annada Mahatmya, Bidya Sundar or Kalika Mangal and Mansingh or Annapurna Mangal.Mansingh, Bhabananda Majumdar and Pratapaditya of Jessore.[3]
The narratives are borrowed from various
Bhagavat Purana,[3] Chaurapanchashika by Bilhana,[3] Kshitishvangshavali Charitam[3] as well as popular hearsays. A lively use of Sanskrit metres and rhetoric is found in the poem.[1]
The surviving manuscripts of the text were dated from 1776 to 1829.
