It is a topic of controversy, whether Dina Krushna is one, two or three persons. But the Late Artaballabha Mohanty has safely accepted that 'Rasakallola' and 'Aratatranachautisha' were the same written by Dinakrushna Das. He was a citizen of Puri and he passed through terrible suffering. Even though he was poor, he was an outspoken and fearless person. In his middle age, he was affected by Leprosy. Despite bearing this twin burden of disease and poverty, this devotee has left two dozen texts of which six are still popular in Odisha. The writer thought to have dozens of good works but could not get an appreciation for his work in his lifetime and felt frustrated by his hard struggle for a living. We get information from the sixteenth canto. Rasakallola of Dinakrushna Das follows the rule of 'ka' initially throughout the book. The ornate work of the writer is simple, sweeter, and uniformly musical. The description of Krishna in Brindavan shows his conception of love that he is not capable of rising above the physical plane so that it may damage the character of his own Master.
