Sahib Kaul (1642-1667+) is the name of a poet from the 16th century. Sāhib Kaul stands out for the quantity, creativity, and ambition of his compositions. He wrote a number of short devotional works, several ritual manuals (paddhatis), and the Devīnāmavilāsa, “a tour de force of devotional poetry in the most refined and complex style based on the Bhavānīsahasranāmastotra”. The latter is a creative and sophisticated interpretation of the Bhavānīsahasranāmastotra, which gives the thousand names of the goddess, in the style of classical Sanskrit kāvya. [...] Alexis Sanderson has argued that Sāhib Kaul and his lineage are important in the religious history of Kashmir because they introduced Śākta elements prevalent in east India into Kashmir’s religious culture.
