Mahatma Isardas (Sanskrit: भक्त-कवी-श्री महात्मा ईसरदास IAST: Bhakta-Kavi-Śrī Mahātmā Īsardāsa) was a 16th-century Indian Hindu saint-poet, who is revered as a devotee of Lord Krishna in Gujarat and Rajasthan states of India. He is associated with having done miraculous works, and due to his high devotion to Krishna, he was called Īsara-so-parameśvara (Īsardāsa is a manifestation of the Almighty himself).
Popular creations like Deviyan and Hariras (bhakti kavya) and Hala-Jhala ra Kundaliya (veer-ras kavya) are credited to Isardas. Also known as 'Sant Mahatma Isardas' by his devotees. The language of Isardas' compositions is Dingal.[1]
