The next anecdote is more well-known, and is mentioned in numerous places, including the “ vAggEyakAra caritamu” chapter in “ Sa”ngIta SampradAya Pradarshini” of SubbarAma DikSitar. The anecdote goes that when the King brought the compositions of himself and JayadEva before Lord JagannAtha, the Lord chose only the gIta gOvindam as his favourit e. Thus, convinced of the superiority of the gIta gOvindam, the King shed his ego and took JayadEva as his spiritual advisor. His patron, King LakSmaNasEna, who has also composed many devotional poems, was a bit jealous of JayadEva’s fame, ordered that no one was to sing anything except his own compositions. JayadEva composd gIta gOvindam and offered it to the feet of the Lord.
