Date of birth and death unknown. An Indian Sanskrit poet and playwright active in the 11th century. A Kashmiri Brahmin, he was well versed in grammar and rhetoric. Favoured by King Vikramaditya VI (reigned 1076-1127), he left behind the historical epic poem Vikramānkadeva-carita, which glorifies the king's achievements, and the play Karunasundari, which depicts the marriage of King Karnadeva (reigned 1064-94). However, what made him most famous was his love lyric poem Chaurapanchāsika (50 Odes to Secret Love), which sings of the joys of forbidden love.

生没年不詳。11世紀に活躍したインドのサンスクリット詩人、劇作家。カシミールのバラモンで、文法、修辞学に通じた。ビクラマーディティヤ6世(在位1076~1127)の寵(ちょう)を受け、王の偉業を称揚した歴史的叙事詩『ビクラマーンカデーバ・チャリタ』やカルナデーバ王(在位1064~94)の結婚を題材とする戯曲『カルナスンダリー』を残した。しかし、彼の名声をもっとも高めたのは禁じられた恋の喜びを歌った恋愛叙情詩『チャウラパンチャーシカー』(秘めたる恋の50頌(しょう))である。 [田中於莵弥] 『上村勝彦著『インドの詩人 バルトリハリとビルハナ』(1982・春秋社)』 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 |
