== Biography ==<br />
Janamejaya Mitra was born on 5 October 1796 in [[Calcutta]] to Brindaban Chandra Mitra, son of Raja Pitambara Mitra. He belonged to the lineage of Sanskrit scholar Kalidās Mitra. His early education was under the supervision of his grandfather Pitambara Mitra who had taught him [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Sanskrit]]. He later studied various languages like [[Braj Bhasha]], [[Bengali language|Bangla]], and [[Urdu]], and wrote in several of them. He was an expert in [[Persian language|Persian]], yet no surviving written text in that language is known to exist. In [[Urdu poetry|Urdu poetics]], he became the disciple of [[Zaigham]], a most noted teacher of his times, and adopted the pen name "Armān". He was a contemporary of [[Ghalib]] and one of his [[ghazal]]s became popular in Ghalib's homeland. In 1824, Arman shifted with his family from the ancestral home in Machua Bazar to Surah (now [[Beliaghata]]), where he lived for the rest of his life.
