Dhoyin or Dhoyī was a 12th century Sanskrit-language poet from present-day India, who composed the Pavanadūta. He was a court poet of the Sena king Lakshmana Sena, who ruled Gauda in what is now Bengal.
Biography
Dhoyi was born in a Baidya family
Style
The theme of all messenger poems is viraha, separation in love. Allusions to romance are never far away. Despite sharing Kālidāsa's use of conventional romantic motif, Dhoyin’s messenger poem is much more than a mere pastiche of the Meghadūta. Dhoyin devotes nearly half of his work (48 out of 104 stanzas) to describing the wind’s journey from Sandal mountain in the south to king Laksmana’s palace at Vijayapura in Bengal, but spends a long time on the message (38 stanzas) in which the lovelorn condition of Kuvalayavatī and the wonderful qualities of the king are described in detail.
Dhoyin has aims beyond the expression of rasa, aesthetic sentiment, which is traditionally the sole purpose of Sanskrit poetry. He devotes a greater proportion of his poem to the message because he can thus pursue his aims more effectively. The Pavanadūta is similar in style to Kālidāsa's Meghadūta.
Works
Dhoyin's Pavanadūta or Wind Messenger is probably one of the earliest surviving examples of the many messenger poems which were written in imitation of Kālidāsa's Meghadūta or Cloud Messenger.
The Clay Sanskrit Library has published a translation of Pavanadūta by Sir James Mallinson as a part of the volume Messenger Poems.
