Navratna of King vikramaditya in details. Vikramaditya's Navratna.
Navratna of Vikramaditya...
These are Navratna
1 - Dhanvantari :-
Their place has been counted among Dhanvantari Navaratnas. There are nine books written by him. They are all related to Ayurveda medical science. He was a great master in medicine. Even today, if a doctor is to be praised, then he is likened to 'Dhanvantari'.
2- Kshapanak:-
Kshapanak, as it appears from his name, was a Buddhist monk. This also proves one thing that in ancient times, ministership was not a means of livelihood, but the council of ministers was formed with the spirit of public welfare. This is the reason that the sannyasis were also members of the cabinet. He wrote some texts in which only 'Bhikshatan' and 'Nanarthkosh' are said to be available.
3- Amar Singh :-
Amar Singh was a great scholar. On the basis of an inscription obtained from the present Buddha-temple of Bodh-Gaya, he is said to be the builder of that temple. Among his many books, the only book 'Amarkosh' is such that on its basis his fame is unbroken. In Sanskrit, there is a phrase Charitartha which means 'Ashtadhyayi is the mother of the wise men and Amarakosha' is the father of the wise. That is, if one reads these two texts, then he becomes a great scholar.
4 - Shank :-
His full name is ' Shankuk '. His only poem - 'Bhuvanabhudayam' has been very famous. But today that too remains the subject of archeology. He is considered a great scholar of Sanskrit.
5 - Vetalbhatta :-
The story of Vetalbhatta Vikram and Vetal is world famous. He was the author of 'Vetal Panchvinshati', but his name is nowhere to be heard. It is proved from Vetal-Pachisi itself that how much Vetalabhatta was affected by the supremacy of Emperor Vikram. This is his only creation available.
6 - Ghatkharpar -
Those who know Sanskrit can understand that 'Ghatkharpar' cannot be the name of a person. This is not even their real name. It is believed that they had a promise that the poet who would defeat them in alliteration and pun, they would fill water with a broken pitcher. Just since then his name 'Ghatkharpar' became famous and the original name disappeared. The name of his composition is also Ghatkharpar Kavyam. It is an incomparable book of Yamak and Alliteration. Another book of his is also available in the name of 'Nitisara'.
7 - Kalidas -
It is believed that Kalidasa was the beloved poet of Emperor Vikramaditya. He has also depicted the bright form of Vikram's personality in his texts. The story of Kalidas is strange. It is said that he got education by the grace of Goddess Kali. That's why he got the name 'Kalidas'. From the point of view of Sanskrit grammar, it should have been Kalidas, but seeing the talent of Kalidas as an exception, it was not changed in the same way as Vishwamitra' was kept in the same form. Whatever it is, there are no longer two opinions about Kalidasa's scholarship and poetic talent. He was not only a great litterateur of his time, but till date no one has been born like him. Four of his poems and three plays are famous. Shakuntala is considered his last work.
8 - Varahamihira -
Indian astrology has become proud of them. He has penned many books. Among them 'Brihajjataka', 'Brihaspati Samhita', 'Panchsiddhanti' are the main ones. Mention of 'Ganak Tarangini', 'Laghu-Jataka', 'Samasa Samhita', 'Marriage Board', 'Yoga Yatra', etc.
9 -Vararuchi :-
Vararuchi Like Kalidas, Vararuchi is also counted among other poets. 'Saduktikarnamrit', 'Suhashitavali' and 'Shar Samhita', are counted among his works. There is a difference of opinion on their name. Because there have been three persons of this name, among them 1. Varruchi Katyayan, the author of Panini grammar, 2. The originator of Prakrit light - Vararuchi 3. The poet found in the hymns - Vararuchi.
