Known to be an ardent worshipper of Shiva, he wrote his plays and poetry largely based around Hindu mythology and philosophy. His name means, literally, "Kali's servant". His poetic style is so exemplary that he is regarded as the master of imagination and foremost in poetry." (Quote from wikipedia.org)
