His name was Dasupant and his nom de plume was Digambar. He was born in 1551/958 Hijri in Bidar during the Bahmani era. His father, Digambar Pant, was a contemporary of Janardhan Pant—the guru of Aiknath. He belonged to the Dat sect. Dasopant (1551–1615) belonged to the Datta sect and was born into a Deshastha Brahmin family in the village of Narayan Peth. He was the son of Digambarpant, an official of the Barid Shahi kingdom of Bidar, responsible for collecting land revenue and handing it over to the rulers. Dasopant wrote mainly in Marathi and was a Sanskrit scholar, with some of his works being commentaries. He also composed songs in Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi. He is said to have written over 500,000 (5 lakh) couplets, only a portion of which have been published. Among his notable works are two commentaries on the Gita—Gitarnava and Gitarthabodhachandrika (also known as Gitartha Chandrika), the latter being a shorter commentary in which he follows the Advaita Siddhanta school of thought. He also authored Grantharaja, considered a precursor to Dasbodh.

Though he primarily composed in Marathi, his kalaam is also found in the Hindi-Urdu of that time. Dr. Shareef, in his book Dakan meiN Urdu Shayeri Wali se Pehle (2004), has mentioned a couple of Dakhni couplets of Digambar.
