Panthoibi Naheron

Not to be confused with Panthoibi Khonggul.

The Panthoibi Naheron (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯦꯔꯣꯟ), also known as the Panthoibi Naheiron (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯩꯔꯣꯟ), or the Panthoibi Naherol (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯦꯔꯣꯜ), or the Panthoibi Naheirol (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯩꯔꯣꯜ) (transl. Panthoibi's incantations), is a classical Meitei language short literary work that tells the story of Panthoibi, a goddess in love. The story shows her emotions in a realistic and sometimes humorous way. It is not a retelling of an earlier work named the Panthoibi Khonggul but an original work of its own. It focuses only on one part of Panthoibi’s love story and uses simple language.

A manuscript textual version of the Panthoibi Naheron in the Meitei language, written on handmade paper material consists of 44 rolls, 264 folios, and 14 records, and is preserved in the Pt. N. Khelchandra Singh Collection, Imphal.
