Jagajyoti Malla (Newar Script:๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ถ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ ) was a Malla Dynasty King of Bhaktapur, Nepal from 1613 to 1637. Unlike many other Malla rulers, there is little evidence that this king was particularly active in construction developments in Nepal.[1]
Literary works
Jagajyoti Malla composed three poem collections in the Newar language, which are:[2]
- Gฤซta pancฤลikฤ
- Saptatฤla gฤซta
- Nฤnฤrtha pancadaลa
Similarly, he also wrote a commentary on Natyashastra in the Newar language, which is known as Sangit Candra.[3] Jagajyoti Malla also wrote in the Maithili language and composed three Maithili plays.[4]
- Muditakuvalayฤลva-nฤtaka (1628)
- Haragaurฤซvivฤha-nฤtaka (1629)
- Kuรฑjavihฤra-nฤtaka (unknown date)
Other dramas have also been ascribed to him but copies have yet to be located.
