CHAND BARDAI (fl. c. 1200)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 837 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHAND BARDAI (fl. c. 1200) , Hindu poet, was a native of Lahore, but lived at the
court
  of Prithwi Raja (Prithiraj), the last Hindu sovereign of
Delhi
 . His Prithiraj Rasau, a poem of some 100,000 stanzas, chronicling his master's deeds and the contemporary history pf his
part
  of India, is valuable not only as historical material but as the earliest
monument
  of the Western Hindi language, and the first of the
long
 
series
  of bardic chronicles for which
Rajputana
  is celebrated. It is written in ballad form, and portions of it are still sung by itinerant bards throughout north-western India and
Rajputana
 .
See Lieut.-Col.
James
  Tod, Annals and Antiquities of Rajast'han (2 vols., London, 1829-1832; repub. by Lalit Mohan Auddy, 2 vols. ib., 18941895), where good translations are given.
