THE MODEBN LITEBAEY HISTOEY OF HINDUSTAN. 
[S 691. 
Such as it is I give the following list, which contains all the 
names mentioned in the Sib Siijgh Saroj, together with those of 
other writers whom I have met in the course of my reading, and 
which I think worthy of preservation. I must add that many writers 
belonging to this period as well as to the preceding one (some of 
whom are happily still alive) will be found entered in the last chapter. 
Some of these, e.g. Harishchandr , , really belong to the post-Mutiny 
days, but have been deliberately included in the earlier period in order 
to complete the convenient consideration of groups or families of 
authors. 
691. ^TTUfTT Pandit Umapati Tripathl, of 
Ajodhya, district Faizdbdd. D. 187 
He was a deeply-read pandit in all branches of Sanskrit learning. 
He at first lived in Banaras, but afterwards settled in Ajodhya 
(Audh), where he occupied himself with compositions and teaching. 
He died A.D. 1874. His most celebrated works are in Sanskrit, 
but he wrote a few short books in the vernacular, such as the 
Dohabd/l, Ratndball, etc. He wrote under the nom de guerre of 
Kobid. 
692 . •rrar Mahant Raghu Nath Das, of Ajodhya, 
district Faizdbdd. Alive in 1883 A.D. 
He was originally a Brahman of Paitepur, district Fatih'pur, but, 
abandoning all worldly possessions, he became a devotee of Bam, 
and wrote hundreds of admired hymns in that deity’s honour. See 
No. 693.

Sanskrit and the vernacular. His poems are said to be full of 
taste, and of uncommon excellence. Amongst his works may be 
mentioned—
