Eknath/AikNaath (c. late 16th century), one of the poets of the Marathi bhakti tradition, lived and composed in a period that overlaps with the late Bahmani and early post-Bahmani Deccan, particularly under the Ahmadnagar Sultanate. A native of Paithan, he was educated at Daulatabad under Swami Janardan, a known devotee of Dattatreya.

On page 784 for his book, Dr. Shareef mentions a few excerpts of Dakhni kalaam.
