Among the major exponents of literature during the Anjudan revival was a poet known as Da'i Anjudani, likely a high-ranking member in the Ismaili hierarchy (hudūd), and brother Mawlana Malik Tayfur Anjudani.
One of the earliest mentions of Da’i Anjudani is among the record of poets compiled by Iskandar Beg Munshi during the reign of Shah Tahmasp I in the mid-16th century.
