Motīram Bhaṭṭa was born in the year Vikrama Saṃvat 1923 (1866-96 AD) and died on the same day in the year Vikrama Saṃvat 1953 at a very young age of 30 years.
Sanskrit language had greatly influenced the poets of Nepal because most of them had their education and higher studies in Vārāṇasi.
Though remembered as a pioneer in Nepali literature, he has to his credit a couple of translated works; out of which one is the Śākuntala of Kāḷidāsa. This was done at the request of the then King of Nepal. The other one is the Priyadarśikā Nāṭikā of Ṣrīharṣa.
A stamp with an FDC and brochure was released by Nepal Post in the year 1962 to honour Motīram Bhaṭṭa.
