Masterpieces of Maithili Literature
Vidyapati Padavali & Purush Pariksha
"The crowning jewel of Maithili literature by 'Maithil Kavi Kokil' Vidyapati. His immortal lyrics of Radha-Krishna love (Padavali), Shiva Nacharis, and Gosavani Geet shaped the literary and devotional landscape of all Eastern India."
Varnaratnakar (1324 CE)
"The oldest surviving prose text not only in Maithili, but in any modern North Indian (Indo-Aryan) vernacular language—composed during the reign of King Harisimhadeva of the Karnata Dynasty."
Mithila Bhasha Ramayana
"The magnum opus of modern Maithili epic poetry that heralded the Renaissance of modern Maithili literature in the 19th century, centering Mother Sita and the cultural ethos of Videha."
Khattar Kakak Tarang & Patraheen Nagna Gachh
"Two towering pillars of 20th-century Maithili literature: Hari Mohan Jha's razor-sharp philosophical wit in 'Khattar Kakak Tarang' and Yatri's Sahitya Akademi-winning realism in 'Patraheen Nagna Gachh'."
Tirhuta (Mithilakshar)
The traditional script of Maithili, older than Devanagari in this region. It is now experiencing a digital renaissance.
