Sri Jaya Jagat Prakasha Malla Deva |
Jagat Prakasha Malla (Nepal Bhasa: ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐๐ต๐ฑ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ) was a Malla Dynasty King of Bhaktapur, Nepal from 1642 to 1673.[3] He succeeded his father Naresha Malla when he was just four years old and was under the regency of his aunt Annapurna Lakshmi and his mother Kamala Devi until his Diksha ceremony in 1654.[4] He is also known as Jagaccanda (Nepal Bhasa: ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก), a syncretic name formed by combining his name with his minister Chandrasekhar Simha.[5] From around 1659 till Chandrasekhar's death in 1661, Jagaccanda appeared in books, inscriptions and manuscripts in place of the monarch's name.[6]
Throughout his life, he wrote plays and poems in both Nepal Bhasa and Maithili. His poetry book, Nepal Bhasaya gita ("songs in Nepal Bhasa") which contains 518 different poems, is considered by some experts to be one of the most important works in Nepal Bhasa.[3][7]
He died of smallpox when he was 35 years old.[4]
Marriage and Children
As per his Maithili drama Prabhฤvatฤซharana-nฤtaka and his son Jitamitra Malla's inscriptions, his first two wives were Padmavati and Chandravati, the former of whom was the queen consort and the mother to the heir.[8] His third and favourite wife Annapurna was, according to Vaidya, a maiden from Panauti.[9] But Dhaubhadel, based on one of his stone inscription which mentions Chandrasekhar performing the Kanyadana of Annapurna, theorizes that Annapurna was likely the sister of Chandrasekhara.[4]
As depicted in a Paubha from 1670, Jagata Prakasha had four children, three sons and a daughter.[5] His sons were:
- Jitamitra Malla (from Padmavati)
- Ugra Malla
- Gherawa
And his daughter was:
- Nandini (from Annapurna)
Maithiili dramas
Jagat Prakasha Malla is known to have written ten dramas, of which two have been published in the Maithili language. These are:[10]
- Prabhฤvatฤซharana-nฤtaka (1656)
- Pradyumnavijaya-nฤtaka (unknown date of composition)
