Angom Gopi
Angom Gopi, also known as Angom Chaopa (1710-1780), was an Indian Meitei writer and a court scholar of Emperor Garib Niwaj Pamheiba of Medieval Manipur. He is best known for introducing "Hindu literature" (especially Sanskrit and Bengali literary works) into Meitei literature (Manipuri literature).[1] He was one of the best translators during his time. He transcribed the Wakoklon Heelel Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok Puya secretly before the occurrence of the Puya Mei Thaba. Regarding his contributions to Hindu Manipuri literature, he translated the Mahabharata written by Gangadas Sen in Bengali and the Ramayana written by Kritibas in Bengali into Manipuri language (Meetei language).[2][3][4][5]
