Bhanubhakta Era
Nepali speakers honor Bhanubhakta as the "Adikavi" (literally meaning 'first poet') of the Nepali language. Bhanubhakta's most important contribution to Nepali literature is probably his translation of the holy Ramayana into Nepali language, he wrote the Ramayana in metric form using the same form as Sanskrit scholars. Besides translating the Ramayana Bhanubhakta also wrote original poems on a diverse range of subjects: from family morals advocacy, satires of bureaucracy to poor conditions of prisoners.

Famous quotes containing the word era:
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
