     This Gitagovinda pattern of the entire medieval Oriya literature, the number of translations this book has had in Oriya, the deep influence it has exercised on the art and society of Orissa and the fact that all the events that mattered in the poet Jayadeva’s life happened at Puri, as well as the great honour given to his book in the temple of Jagannatha, all naturally make Jayadeva an integral part of Orissa’s medieval culture and tend to prove the great poet-saint’s Orissan citizenship, as claimed by the Oriyas.

   • 2008, Orissa: An Encyclopaedia of Events‎^[2], 2 edition, Sankalpa Publications, page 13:

     Orissa achieved excellence in the spheres of painting, sculpture, art, architecture and literature. Along with Oriya language and Oriya script, a distinct Oriya culture came into prominence.
