... character of the literary virtue? In our Bengali literature Vidyapati and Chandidas are the pioneer poets who made an attempt at creating genuine poetry surpassing all plebeian poetry. They had infused the popular literature with a new spirit, and thus formed a basis for real poetic utterance. The joy we derive from the songs of Vidyapati and Chandidas can be called the real poetic pleasure. For example... example, Hearken, O Madhava, Radha is at large. (Vidyapati) or, I shall store up my Beloved in my soul. To none shall I disclose The perfect union of two hearts. ( Chandidas) It is said that Valmiki is the pioneer poet in Sanskrit literature.

But Chandidas was self-oblivious and beside himself... they have intuition, and in terms of the earlier language, that they have the inner heart.
