An Indian historian active in the 12th century. He was the son of Champaka, the chief minister of King Harsha of Kashmir (reigned 1089-1101), and a Shaivite Brahmin. After King Harsha's untimely death, he wrote the chronicle of the ever-changing Kashmiri royal lineage, the Rajatarangini (The Line of Kings) (1150), in eight volumes and 7,826 Sanskrit verses. This historical epic is based on ancient records and inscriptions, and the parts close to the date of its creation convey accurate historical facts, making it a valuable historical document.

12世紀に活躍したインドの歴史家。カシミール国のハルシャ王(在位1089~1101)の宰相チャンパカの子で、シバ教徒のバラモン。ハルシャ王の非業の死をみて、変転きわまりないカシミール王統の年代記『ラージャタランギニー(諸王の流れ)』(1150)を8編7826のサンスクリット語の詩句で書いた。この歴史的叙事詩は古記録や碑文などに基づいたものであり、成立年代に近い部分は、正確な史実を伝え、史書としての価値も高い。 [田中於莵弥] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
