Miscellanea Authors

 This page lists many miscellaneous authors who have not been included in a long biographies and have short descriptions.

Ashwaghosh
Ashwaghosh was one of the great writers of ancient India. He lived in the period of Kushaan emperor in the 1st century AD. Unlike other Buddhist writers he wrote in Sanskrit. Many Kaavya and dramas are attributed to him. One of the characters in Ashwaghosh’s drama was Dhananjaya. Probably Cambodian’s followed this fictional character to create their jester. Many Tenaalee Raam stories have been reproduced with Dhananjaya's name there.

Haritaayan
Once Parashuraam Jee had some guidance on A-Dwait from Dattaatreya Jee to spread it on the Earth. At the same time a Braahman named Sumant had a son named Alark. His father used to call his mother "Aayee", so he also started calling her "Aayee". Alark died young, so he kept calling his mother "Aayee, Aayee". Since the word is sacred to the goddess, it conferred merit on the child. later he was born as Sumedh in Harit's house and was named as Haritaayan on the name of his father. When he had grown up, Parashuraam Jee taught him that A-Dwait, which he learnt from Dattaatreya Jee, to him. Later Naarad Jee asked him to write all this by the order of Brahmaa Jee. Then he wrote "Tripur Rahasya" - this is introduction to Tripur Rahasya. (read Tripur Rahasya here)
