Bengali literature as his father. After the usual benedictory verses, 

 the work gives some account of Nasi'at Shah, the son of Husain Shah, 

 the Sultan of Bengal. C-huti Klian was a general of Nusrat Shah. 

 He invested Tripura and (compelled its King to abandon his capital in 

 the plains and to retire to the hills and there found a new city, perhaps, 

 [Jdayapura. 



Chuti Khan loved his father tenderly, and received from the Sultan 

 many marks of distinction. His fathei-'s Jagir was Charlol a little 

 to the North of Chittagong, in the beautiful Mount Candra Cekhara. 

 The land was surroiinded on all sides by the river Fani. C^) 



As already mentioned, the poet who wiote the A^vamedha Parva, 

 under the patronage of Chuti Khan, was ^'rikar Nandl or prikaran 

 Nandi. Q) He treats his work as a supplement to the greater work 

 of Kavindra Paramesvara. The language of the woi-k is A'ery g-ood 

 Bengali. There is no pedantic use of Sanskrit words, and is completely 

 free fi/om Persian influence. There are, indeed, such forms as ^frf'ff, 

 f^^f^rr, g^ ^T^IT, &c., the old Pali and Pniknt forms which have 

 not yet been eliminated from the lang'uage A study of these works is 

 likely to remove that misapprehension about the povei'ty of the Bengali 

 language, which has induced some of the Bengali wi'iters to coin new 

 words, and to make the modern Bengali style jar in the ears of the 

 Bengali public.
