Source: Shodhganga: A comparative study of the devotional vaisnavite lyrics of Assam and BengalBaragīta (बरगीत).—Though in ancient Assamese literature before Śaṅkara-Mādhava also, there were numerous lyrics and verses, but specially these two great geniusses with their lyrices and specially the baragītas brought about an enlightenment and revolution in Assamese literature and the society as well, by their novel ideas and melody, establishing a new literary era. The pre-Śaṅkara poets, though adopted the subject matter of their lyrical works from the Rāmāyṇa and purāṇas, but instead of spiritual appeal, their writings had more of the secular appeal.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
