How Do Ypu Remember Motiram Bhatta?

 Motiram Bhatta, one of the pioneers of modern Nepali literature, is also remembered for his humorous touch, especially in his satirical poems (เคต्เคฏंเค—्เคฏ เค•เคตिเคคा) where he mocked social hypocrisy, pretentious scholars, and blind imitation of foreign ways. His wit often shone through playful language, puns, and clever rhymes, sometimes mixing Sanskritized Nepali with colloquial speech in ways that sounded comical. In his character sketches, he humorously exposed the foolishness of pompous pandits or proud nobles, while even his love poems occasionally carried teasing and lighthearted lines. Through exaggeration and witty comparisons, his humor made people laugh but also reflect on social realities, making his works both entertaining and thought-provoking.
