Chakrapani Chalise (Nepali: चक्रपाणि चालिसे) was a Nepalese poet. He wrote the words of the first national anthem of Nepal in 1924 AD to the music composed by Bakhat Bahadur Budhapirthi in 1899 AD (grandfather of musician Louis Banks or Dambar Bahadur Budaprithi).[1][2][3] The musical part of anthem was created during Prime Minister Bir Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana's era. Later the Nepali Language Publications Committee was ordered to write words for the anthem. Chakrapani being assistant to Superintendent of the Committee, wrote the words for the anthem.[2]

Chakrapani is considered as the poet who connected two different eras in Nepali literature. Motiram Bhatta's romanticistic era was connected to Lekhnath Paudyal's era by Pandit Chakrapani. Later, a commemorative stamp of Nepali Rupees 4.5 was issued for his contribution to Nepali literature.[1]

His 133rd birth anniversary was celebrated by prize distribution and literary programme at Katunje, Bhaktapur by Chakrapani Smarak Samiti (a memorial committee).[4]
