Jaygopal Tarkalankar (Bengali: জয়গোপাল তর্কালঙ্কার; 7 October 1775 — 13 April 1846) was a Bengali writer and Sanskrit scholar.
Tarkalankar was born in 1775 at Ghritapur village, Keshiary in British India. He completed his primary education from His father, Pandit Kebalram Tarkapanchanan.[1]
Tarkalankar went to Benaras and worked with Henry Thomas Colebrooke. He taught Colebrooke Bengali and Sanskrit and helped him translation projects.[2] He worked under William Carey from 1805 to 1823 in Serampur where he composed Shikshasar. Tarkalankar also worked with John Clark Marshman and published Samachar Darpan.[3] Immediately after its establishment of Sanskrit College in 1824 he was appointed as lecturer of Vernacular literature. In his 22 years teaching career he taught Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar[4] and Madan Mohan Tarkalankar. His principal aim was to re-develop the Bengali language by ridding it of its Perso-Arabic influences. Tarkalankar revised versions of Krittivas's Ramayana and Mahabharata of Kashiram Das which were published from Serampore Mission Press in 1834 and 1836 respectively.[1][5]
