Jyotirishwar Thakur or {{IAST|Kaviśekharācārya Jyotirīśvara Ṭhākura}} (1290–1350) was a Maithil poet and an early Maithili and Sanskrit writer, known for the {{IAST|Varṇa Ratnākara}}, his encyclopedic work in Maithili. LifeJyotirishwar was son of {{IAST|Rāmeśvara}} and grandson of {{IAST|Dhīreśvara}}. He was the court poet of King Harisimhadeva of Karnata dynasty of Mithila (r. 1300–1324). Major worksHis most significant work in Maithili, the {{IAST|Varṇa Ratnākara}} (1324) is an encyclopedic work in prose. This work contains descriptions of various subjects and situations. This work provides valuable information about the life and culture of medieval India.[1] The text is divided into seven Kallolas (waves): {{IAST|Nagara Varṇana}}, {{IAST|Nāyikā Varṇana}}, {{IAST|Asthāna Varṇana}}, {{IAST|Ṛtu Varṇana}}, {{IAST|Prayāṇa Varṇana}}, {{IAST|Bhaṭṭādi Varṇana}} and {{IAST|Śmaśāna Varṇana}}. An incomplete list of 84 Siddhas is found in the text, which consists only 76 names. A manuscript of this text is preserved in the Asiatic Society, Kolkata (ms. no 4834 of Asiatic Society of Bengal).[2] His major Sanskrit play, the {{IAST|Dhūrta Samāgama}} (The Meeting of the Knaves) (1320) is a two act Prahasana (comedy). The play relates the contest between a religious mendicant {{IAST|Viśvanagara}} and his disciple {{IAST|Durācāra}} over a lovely courtesan {{IAST|Anaṅgasenā}} whom the Brahmin arbitrator {{IAST|Asajjātimiśra}} keeps for himself.[3] Superior characters in this drama speak in Sanskrit, inferior characters speak in Prakrit and the songs are in Maithili.[4] His another Sanskrit work, the {{IAST|Pañcasāyaka}} (Five Arrows) in five parts deals with the same topics which are dealt in the other standard works on the {{IAST|Kāmaśāstra}}.[5] Notes1. ^Majumdar 1960, p. 515. "The Varṇa Ratnākara of Jyotirīśvara Ṭhākura ... was written about 1325. This is a work of set descriptions of various subjects and situations, to supply ready-made cliché passages to story-tellers ... [it] is important, not only because it gives us specimens of pure Maithilī prose ... but also because it is a store-house of information, conveyed through words, about the life and culture of early Medieval India in all their aspects." 2. ^Shastri, Haraprasad (ed.)
