Dvija Madhab was born in the Saptagram-Tribeni area of Hooghly, situated in the Sultanate of Bengal. His father Parashar, as mentioned in the Sarada Charit, was a Brahmin. Dvija Madhab is also attributed as the author of Sri Krishna Mangal, another narrative poem popular among the Vaishnavas; but its authorship is doubted by scholars.

The manuscripts of Dvija Madhab's work are found in Chittagong region of modern-day Bangladesh, where the poet probably had migrated from western Bengal in his later years.{{cite book |last1= Bandyopadhyay |first1= Asit Kumar |title= Bangla Shityer Itibritta |trans-title= History of Bengali Literature |volume=II| edition= 4th|date= July 2006 |orig-year= 1962 |publisher= Modern Book Agency Private Ltd |location= Kolkata |language= bn |pages= 95–96}}
