Q. Who wrote Dharma Mangal?
Answer:
Ruparam
Notes: Ghazi Vijaya and Satya Pir Vijay of Faizullah (16th Century); and Ray Mangal, Shasti Mangal, Sitala Mangal
and Kamala Mangal (17th Century) of Krishna Das and Dharma Mangal of Ruparam all indicate clearly that Bengali Hindus were devoted to Pirs in the late 16th and the 17th centuries, because the
Vaisnavas had lost some of their influences over the society at that time.
