Shantidas Adhikari
Shantidas Adhikari, popularly known as Shantidas Gosai or Shantidas Goswami, was a Hindu preacher from Sylhet who converted King Pamheiba of Manipur from traditional Meitei religion to Hinduism in 1717 C.E.
He composed the "Vijay Panchali" (also spelled as "Bijoy Panchali"), in which he projected the land of northeast India's Manipur as the Manipur of the Mahabharata and claiming Babruvahana (Arjuna's son) as the father of Meitei King Nongda Lairen Pakhangba. His work identified Nongda Lairen Pakhangba as "Yavistha".[1][2]
