Jagajjyoti Malla

Jagajyoti Malla (Newar Script: ) was a Malla Dynasty King of Bhaktapur, Nepal from 1613 to 1637. Unlike many other Malla rulers, there is little evidence that this king was particularly active in construction developments in Nepal.

Maithili plays

Jagajyoti Malla also wrote in the Maithili language and composed three Maithili plays.

  • Muditakuvalayāśva-nātaka (1628)
  • HaragaurÄ«vivāha-nātaka (1629)
  • Kuñjavihāra-nātaka (unknown date)

Other dramas have also been ascribed to him but copies have yet to be located.
