As Dasa's birth and death are unrecorded, various researchers speculate various years. In a research publication, researcher Janaki Ballabh Mohanty has cited his birth year around 1720-30 and his death year as being unknown. Other publications have his birth year as 1720 and his death year as 1793.[3]

He was born in a Karana family, a fact that is proved by one of his earlier poems where he explicitly mentions his surname Pattanayaka, used by the karanas (scribes) of ancient Odisha. The surname is still in use.

He spent most of his life in Puri.

Music

Banamali's creations are frequently sung in classical Odissi music concerts & enacted in the abhinaya part of Odissi dance. He is known to have composed over 400 songs; Odissi, Chhanda, Bhajana, Janana, Chautisa and more. He is not known to have written any single kavya, rather a large number of individual songs.
