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.
