Bhanubhakta Acharya is a renowned Nepali writer, poet, and translator who is known as the first poet in the Nepali language. He was given the title "Aadikabi," which translates to "the first poet." One of his most significant accomplishments was translating the epic Ramayana from Sanskrit to Nepali, a groundbreaking work that originally gained popularity through oral recitations. This translation was later compiled and published as Bhanubhakta Ramayana by Motirām Bhatta in the late 19th century, solidifying Acharya's legacy as a pioneering literary figure in Nepali literature.
