<p>Content Updated.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Kavindra Parameshwar&#039;&#039;&#039; medieval poet, author of the first [[Mahabharata|mahabharata]] in Bangla. His given name was Parameshwar Das, &#039;Kavindra&#039; was an honorific title meaning prime among the kavis. He was born in Balanda, in the Saptagram area of Hughli. His father, Gunaraj, was a landowner and an influential social leader. Kavindra was the court poet of Paragal Khan, ruler of [[Chittagong District|chittagong]], who asked the poet to tell the story of the Mahabharata in brief, so that it could be heard in one day: &#039;Ehi sab katha kaha sangksep kariya/Dineke shunite pari panchali padiya&#039;. Accordingly Kavindra wrote an abridged version of the Mahabharata in Bangla for his patron, during 1515-1519.<br /> <br /> Kavindra&#039;s version of the epic contains all eighteen chapters of the original Mahabharata, but the chapter on Ashvamedha (horse sacrifice) describes the heroism of Arjun and his skills as a warrior in considerable detail.
