Jasobanta Dasa (in Oriya d͡ʒɔsobɔnt̪ɔ d̪aːsɔ/; born) was an Odia poet, litterateur and mystic. He was one of the five great poets in Odia literature, the Panchasakha named Sri Ananta Dasa, Sri Jagannatha Dasa, Sri Balarama Dasa and Sri Achyutananda Dasa during the Bhakti age of literature. He is known for his work Prema Bhakti Brahma Gita.
Early life of Jasobanta is mainly sourced from the work Jasobanta Dasanka Chaurashi Agyan (Eighty-four arts of Jasobanta Dasa) by one of his disciples Sudarshan Das. He was born at village Adhanga, Jagatsinghpur, part of undivided Cuttack District. His father's name was Jagu Mallika and his mother's name was Rekha Dei. He came to Puri by the inspiration of Sri Chaitanya. He got initiated into Vaishnavism during Srichaitanya's stay in Puri.[6]
