Bhānubhakta Ācārya (1814-1868) was a Nepalese poet who translated the great epic Śrīmad-Rāmāyaṇa from Sanskrit to Nepali language. Born in Tanahu, he was educated at home with a strong leaning towards Sanskrit language and religion. His version of the Ramayana is the best loved one even in modern Nepal.
This stamp along with the FDC was issued on 13.07.1962.

On 31.12.2013, a second stamp was issued. On this and the and the FDC his name is seen prefixed with the title "Ādikavi" which will not make any sense to Sanskritists. Ādikavi is Vālmīki and Vālmīki alone can hold the title. Ādikavi means the "first poet" and
the first śloka was "mā niṣāda ..... ". Probably he was considered as the first poet of Nepal.
