Giridhar and Vrinda belonged to the Ritikal or Scholatic Period. These poets were divided into two groups- the Ritibaddha (rhetorics) and the Ritmunkta the latter being poets who were free from rhetorical conventions.
These poets were well known for spontaneous verse and didactic poetry composesed in 'stray' verses.
