Marula (IAST: Mārulā; fl. 13th century or earlier) was a Sanskrit-language poetess from present-day India. Her verses are included in early medieval Sanskrit anthologies, including Sharngadhara's Paddhati and Jalhana's Suktimuktavali.

Date

Marula's verses are included in Sanskrit anthologies such as Jalhana's Suktimuktavali (13th century) and Sharngadhara's Paddhati (14th century). So, she must have lived in the 13th century or earlier, although her exact period is not certain.{{sfn|Supriya Banik Pal|2010|p=154}}

She must have been a famous poet of her time, for a verse attributed to Dhanadadevas in Sharngadhara's Paddhati names her among four notable women poets:{{sfn|A. K. Warder|1994|p=421}}

{{cquote|Shilabhattarika, Vijja, Marula, and Morika are poetesses of renown with great poetic genius and erudition. Those who have command over all branches of learning, having participated in dialogues with other scholars and having defeated them in debates, are regarded as sound scholars and experts. Consequently, they alone are venerable in the scholarly world.|source=Dhanadadevas, in Sharngadhara's Paddhati{{sfn|Supriya Banik Pal|2010|p=150}}}}

Example verses

Only five of Marula's verses are now extant.{{sfn|Supriya Banik Pal|2010|p=154}} The following verse is about a woman separated from her lover:{{sfn|Supriya Banik Pal|2010|p=154}}

{{Verse translation|lang=sa
|Gopayanti viraha-janitam dukhamagre gurunam

Kim tvam mugdhe nayana-visritam vaspapuram runatsi

Naktam naktam nayana-salilair-esa adreekritaste

Sayyo-pantah kathayati dasam-atape sosyamanah

|Hiding away your grief at separation from your beloved one,

why are you, my lovely lassie, checking the flood of tears, overflowing

your eyes? The edge of your bed, dampened night after

night by tears and dried in the sun (next morning), is bearing

evidence of your sad plight.
