N MDEV (1270?-? 1350)

L’un des plus célèbres des «saints» (la secte des sant ) du Mah r shtra (région de Bombay) en raison de l’œuvre qu’il a laissée et des légendes pieuses concernant sa vie. On dit que N mdev était de basse caste (de la sous-caste des tailleurs) et qu’il eut une jeunesse orageuse, s’associant à des bandes de voleurs de grand chemin. Un jour pourtant, il rencontra un saint (peut-être Jn ndev) qui le convertit à la religion de Vithob , incarnation mineure de Vishnu. N mdev devint alors un adepte de la secte des «pèlerins» (v rkar 稜s ) et composa des poèmes mystiques destinés à être chantés pendant le pèlerinage annuel à Pandharpur, où se trouve le temple de la secte. On raconte que Vithob lui apparut sous la forme d’un lépreux et le bénit lorsqu’il vit le saint le traiter néanmoins comme son frère malgré l’horrible maladie qui déformait ses traits.

Les cantiques (abhang ) de N mdev restent parmi les plus populaires dans la secte des v rkar 稜s.
