Bidagdha Kabi Abhimanyu Samanta Singhara born on 23rd February 1760 at Balia in Jajpur district. He born to the king of Balia Indrajit Samanta Singhara & Tulsi Devi.
His mother was the eighth wife of Indrajit Samanta Singhara. His father Indrajit Samanta Singhara had no child and Abhimanyu was born due to the worship of a Brahmin Sadananda Kabisurya Brahma. So it is said that Indrajit Samanta Singhara's eighth wife gave birth to a child like Debaki's eighth child.
Abhimanyu wrote at the age of 9. He started his poetry under a starfruit tree about which he wrote in his poem
ମୋର ହୁଁ ଗୋ । କରମ ଯାହାର ସଫଳ ହୋଇବ, କୃଷ୍ଣଙ୍କୁ ଲଭିବ ସେହି ଗୋ, ମୋର ହୁଁ ଗୋ ।
His father encouraged him to write which he wrote in his book ' Bagha Geeta'
ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରଜିତ ଏ ଛାନ୍ଦ ଭଣାଇ ରାଧା ଧ୍ୟାନ କରି।
He also wrote about his royal family in that book
ବାଲିଆ ବୋଲି ଯେ ଏକ ନଗର ତହିଁ ନୃପତି ସାମନ୍ତ ସିଂହାର।
From the very childhood his poetic talent has come to limelight.At the age of 14 he had composed ‘Bagha Geeta’ ‘Chadhei Geeta’ and ‘Bole Hun’. His creations include ‘Bidagdha Chintamani’, Prema Chintamani’, ‘Prema Kala’, Rasabati’, Sulakshyana’ & ‘Prematarangini’.
His 'Bidagdha Chintamani' is his best and immortal creation and a valuable for odia literature. No other odia book is comparable to 'Bidagdha Chintamani'. This can be seen from these lines
ଉପମା ଭଞ୍ଜ ଅନୁପମ କଲ୍ଲୋଳ ପଦଛନ୍ଦ ରମ୍ୟ ରାଘବ ରସ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରୋଦୟ ଅମ୍ବିକେ ସାହିତ୍ୟ ନିର୍ଣ୍ଣୟ ଏ ସର୍ବ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱ ଯେହ୍ନେ ଛାଣି ହେଲା ବିଦଗ୍ଧ ଚିନ୍ତାମଣି।
The role of Abhimanyu Samanta Singhara can not be denied during the Riti Yuga period of Odia Literature. Without him the odia literature is incomplete. His family had been entitled as "Samanta Singhara" by Gajapati to his ancestors. The title "Bidagdha Kabi" was given to him for "Bidagdha Chintamani". In memory and respect of him govt of Odisha renamed his village in his name and build schools and colleges in his name.
