Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Tomar court in Gwalior sponsored the first known extant retellings of the epics in Classical Hindi. This is sometimes interpreted as a Hindu renaissance after an interlude of Sultanate-installed overlordship in Gwalior. Is there evidence that the Tomars inaugurated an emotional regime of resurgent Hinduism when they came to power around 1394? This paper attempts to answer the question based on the contemporaneous Persian sources, complemented with Tomar inscriptions and the relevant passages in the Classical Hindi chronicle Gopācalākhyāna, authored by Khaḍag Rāy (ca. 1630), on the basis of a recently rediscovered manuscript in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
