Mahamanikya
Mahamanikya (also Manikpha) was a Borahi-Kachari[1] king who ruled parts of Assam in the 14th-15th century. At the time, his kingdom centered on present-day Nagaon, Morigoan and Hojai districts. Under his patronage, the Sanskrit epic Ramayana was translated to Assamese verse Saptakanda Ramayana by Madhava Kandali.[1]
Notes[]
- ^ a b Sharma (2006), p. 4: "It may also be noted that the Assamese rendition of the Ramayana (next only to Kampana’s Tamil to be rendered to a modern Indian language) by Madhab Kandali in the 14th century was also achieved under the patronage of Borahi-Kachari king Manikpha (sanskritized as Mahamanikya)."
