Jagajyoti Malla (Newar Script:𑐖𑐐𑐖𑑂𑐫𑑀𑐟𑐶 𑐩𑐮𑑂𑐮 ) was a Malla Dynasty King of Bhaktapur, Nepal from 1613 to 1637. Unlike many of the other Malla rulers, there is little evidence today that this king was particularly active in construction developments in Nepal.[1]
Maithili plays[edit]
Jagajyoti Malla also wrote in the Maithili language and composed three Maithili plays.[2]
- Muditakuvalayāśva-nātaka (1628)
- Haragaurīvivāha-nātaka (1629)
- Kuñjavihāra-nātaka (unknown date)
Other dramas have also been ascribed to his name but copies have yet to be located.
