The poet is described as a person of handsome appearance, and an excellent singer. This meeting between Adwaita and Vidyāpati took place about the year 1458 or 27 years before Chaitanya Deva was born. Vidyāpati refers to Giāsuddin Toglak in one of his songs and in another to Nasir Sāha. But with very few exceptions his songs as a whole are dedicated to Rājāh Çiva Simha—his great patron and friend.
