Chand Bardai (चंदबरदाई, – c. 1200) was a Hindu Rao and the court poet of the Indian king Prithviraj III Chauhan, who ruled Ajmer and Delhi from 1165 to 1192. Chand Bardai composed the ''Prithviraj Raso'', an epic poem in Hindi about the life of Prithviraj. A barot of Jagati(jalsar) gotra, he was a worshiper of the goddess Saraswati, who gave him the boon of Bardai. The ''Prithviraj Raso'' was embellished with time and quite a few authors added to it. Only parts of the original manuscript are still intact. There are many versions of Raso but scholars agree that a 1400 stanza poem is the real "Prithivraj Raso". In its longest form the poem comprises upwords of 10,000 stanzas. The ''Prithviraj Raso'' is a source of information on the social and clan structure of the Kshatriya communities of northern India. The historicity of ''Prithviraj Raso'' was proved unreliable by historical writers like Buhler, Morrison, GH Ojha and Munshi Devi Prasad. ==Early Life== He was born in Lahor in a BAROT family. The name of his father was Kaviraaj Mallha’, who was dependent as a poet in the state of Maharaj Someshwar, the emperor of Ajmer. Here Chand Bardai was educated with his child friend Prithviraj III Chauhan. After the death of Maharaj Someshwar, Prithiviraj was enthroned, and then he took Chand Bardai as his state-poet and faithful counceller in his court. Chand Varadaayi had great ability in administration and war as well with his supreme excellency in poetical creativity. Prithiviraaj and his other stately dominated figures honoured Prithiviraaj with distinct favor. None disobeyed his commands. He was very spiritual and religious and had got special grace of deity ‘Jalandhari’. Wheresoever he roamed, a group of kingly respect assisted him. He had two wives, Kamla and Gauri. He had ten sons and a daughter from them . His fourth son named Jallan or Jallah Chand was as glorious and meritorious as his father was.Chand Bardai was married twice. His wives Kamla and Gauran gave birth to 10 sons, namely Sur, Sunder, Sujan, Jalhan, Vallah, Balbhadra, Kehari, Vir Chand, Avdut and Gunraj, and one daughter, Rajabai. 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「Chand Bardai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
