Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
There are two types of early Bengali literature: those that owe their existence to Sanskrit and those that do not. The first types of writing were translations of Sanskrit epics; Mangalakavyas (auspicious poetry about regional deities); and bhakti literature, such as biographies of Chaitanyadeva, the founder of the Vaishnava bhakti movement. The second group included works by Nath authors like Maynamati and Gopichandra, as well as fairy tales, folklore, and ballads, as well as tales about Dharma Thakur's infatuation. The fact that fish was a common part of the local cuisine forced the Brahmanical authorities to waive this ban for Bengali Brahmanas, despite the fact that non-vegetarian food consumption was not permitted for Brahmans. The first one includes translations of local deity-related hymns, Mangalakavyas, and Sanskrit epics.
