Subika - 16th century Classical Meitei language illustrated manuscript text - in traditional Meetei Mayek writing system - Meitei astronomy & cosmology of Kangleipak civilisation state

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Subika - 16th century Classical Meitei language illustrated manuscript text - in traditional Meetei Mayek writing system - Meitei astronomy & cosmology of Kangleipak civilisation state

The Subika was composed and written during the reign of Meitei King Khagemba of Manipur in the period 1597-1652 C.E. While neither the author nor the scribe of the text is known, it deals with astronomy and cosmology. The Subika was often consulted by the royal family before any significant undertaking or event such as war, marriage or festivities. It was also originally owned by the royal family but passed on to the royal scholars. Such was the belief in and the power of this text that to this day, people in Kangleipak (Manipur) regard its predictions as utterly reliable.

Both the language and the script of this significant composition are Meitei. A descendant of the pandits, Bobby Wahengam, donated the manuscript to the Manipur State Archives. The manuscript is made of agurbak (agarbak / agorbak) or the bark of the aloe tree and contains 47 folios.
