Editing Sankardev (section)

====Bhuyan ''shiromaniship''====
Sankardev soon mastered the major scriptures and thereafter left the ''tol'' in his late teens (c1465) to attend to his responsibilities as the Shiromani Bhuyan. He came to be known as the ''Dekagiri'' among his subjects and admirers. As Alipukhuri had become crowded, he moved his household from Alipukhuri to Bordowa. He married his first wife Suryavati when he was in his early 20s and a daughter, Manu, was born in about three years, but his wife died about nine months later.<ref>{{harv|Barman|1999|p=19}}</ref>
