<p class="C1">&#65279HA&#7748S R&#256M, a B&#257jpey&#299 Br&#257hma&#7751, who came from Fatehpur district of present-day Uttar Pradesh, was one of the poets and scholars employed by Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh to render Sanskrit classics into Braj written in Gurmukh&#299 script. Ha&#7749s R&#257m translated Kar&#7751a Parva of the <i>Mah&#257bh&#257rata</i>. The 1581-stanza work was commenced on Maghar <i>v&#257d&#299</i> 2, 1752 Bk/12 November 1695 and, as acknowledged by the poet himself, the Gur&#363 bestowed upon him a reward of 60,000, <i>&#7789ak&#257s</i> (silver coins, rupees), when he completed it. The poet panegyrizes the bounties of the Gur&#363 as well as his bravery in battle. The only known manuscript of his Kar&#7751a Parva is now a part (pp. 711-882) of a voluminous <i>Mah&#257bh&#257rata</i> preserved in the private collection of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 of Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257. A copy in Devan&#257gar&#299 script is said to be held in the personal Library of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 of V&#257r&#257&#7751as&#299.</p>
