The Sanskrit portion of Kishore-chandrananda-champu is regarded as campu though it is a combination of prose passages and verses. But the Odia songs connected to this campu are called as the caupadi-cautisa. Generaly both the Sanskrit and Odia portions are known as the Kishore-chandrananda-champu The cautisa is a revised and developed form of the caupadi. After the composition of Jayadeva's Gitagovinda, a tradition of song composition and discussion/performance was started. From the fifteenth century the Prakrit and Apabhramsa songs regarding Radha and Krsna and the imitative songs of the Gitagovinda had prevailed in Odisha. In the sixteenth century the Bengali and Maithili songs were widely circulated in Odisha after the incoming of Caitanya. Some of the peculiar patterns of Odia poetry that originated in 80 the ancient and medieval periods are categorized into three groups i.e.* the fourteen-lettered couplet with its Dandivrtta variety*the koili song *the cautisa song. 81 Mayadhar Mansimha difined the cautisa song as a ballad, the stanzas of which, or couplets, are arranged according to the letters of the alphabet. The four and thirty letters, from "ka" to" ksa", in the serial order of which the poem glides on, gives the name to these patterns. In this system the first letter of the first two or four lines must begin with ka, the lines in the second couplet or 82 stanza begin with kha and so on till the last letter ksa. The caupadiis a small 80. Ibid, p.19 81. Mansinha, Mayadhar, A history of Oriya literature, p.40 82. Mansinha, Mayadhar, A history of Oriya literature, p.41 140

poem of four steps whereas the cautisa is an alphabetical composition serially from ka to ksa which contains the musical songs composed on traditional music patterns. It also bears the sastric ragas and talas. So a caupadi can be included within a cautisa. In Odia the number 34 is known as cautirisi and the name cautisa indicates about the thirty-four songs alphabetically. In the temple of Jagannatha at Puri the traditional dance and song are performed on different occasions. Therefore, Puri remained as a famous place for the discussion about music and song. From the time of Caitanya many pilgrims and intellectuals have been coming to Puri. Odisha was politically and commercially related to South India and Odia literature, music were also seriously influenced by the South. So the caupadi and cautisa songs contain many words of that Odia language which was under the impact of the South-Indian language. 03 For easy memorisation, romantic in nature and musical character the cautisa songs are still popular in Odisha. 84 There are thirty-four Odia songs in traditional cautisa style joined to Kishore-chandrananda-champu which proves it's belonging to the ancient style.
