The "Cheitharon Kumpapa "is the Court Chronicle of the Kings of
Manipur, a small formerly independent state situated on the Indian
border with Myanmar. The "Cheitharon Kumpapa "is a court account of
the state, which claims to record events from the founding of the
ruling dynasty in 33 CE. This dynasty continued until the abolition
of the monarchy after the merger of the state with India in 1949.
The document is thus probably the oldest chronicle in the region,
written on hand made "Meetei" (Manipuri) paper made from tree bark
in locally made ink with a quill or a bamboo pen. All in all it
comprises more than 3000 leaves. This volume contains a copy of the
original text of the "Cheitharon Kumpapa," which is authorized by
the Palace and the English translation from the original composed
in archaic Manipuri script ("Meetei Mayek"). Explanatory notes and
a glossary complement this interesting source of information.
Scholars working on East and South Asia willfind this volume
enlightening and the text will be useful for those readers engaged
in social anthropology, religious history, archaeology, human
geography and linguistics.
