Bharavi (IAST: Bhāravi, (サンスクリット:भारवि)) ( 6th century CE) was a Sanskrit poet known for his ''Mahakavya'' (epic), the ''Kirātārjunīya'' (Arjuna and the Mountain Man) in 18 cantos based on an episode from the Mahabharata. ==Time and place== As with most Sanskrit poets, very few concrete details are available about Bharavi's life, and inferences must be made from references to him. A Chalukya inscription from 634 CE mentions him and Kalidasa as famous poets of the past. In another inscription, the king Durvinita of the Western Ganga Dynasty mentions having written a commentary on the fifteenth canto of Bharavi's Kirātārjunīya. The Western Ganga Dynasty ruled from about the middle of the fourth century, and Durvinita is usually believed to have lived in the later half of the sixth century. The poet Daṇḍin, who was born during the seventh century, reports that his great-grandfather was a friend of Bharavi and was introduced by him to a king Viṣṇuvardhana, before receiving patronage from Durvinita and King Simhavishnu of the Pallava dynasty. This is unlikely to be Vishnuvardhana II (673–682 CE) and is more likely to be Yasodharman Vishnuvardhana, placing Bharavi's floruit in . His name, along with great poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit language Kālidāsa's name, is mentioned in a stone inscription dated 634 C.E. found at Aihole, located in present day Karnataka. Bharavi probably belonged to Southern India.〔(Encyclopædia Britannica )〕 "Bharavi" means "lustre of the sun". It is reported that his original name was Dāmodara, although this may have been an error. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bharavi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
