Puya (Meitei Texts)
The Puyas ( mni, ꯄꯨꯌꯥ) are archaic Meitei language manuscripts. They encompass a wide spectrum of themes including genealogy, literature, history, royalties, administration, creation and cosmology, philosophy, poetry, religious beliefs, etc. Saroj Parratt noted in 2005 that none of these Puyas were yet dated by professional historians or subject to serious textual-critical scrutiny. Consequently, she criticized the tendency of local authors to treat Puyas as reliable sources in their reconstruction of Manipuri history. Scholars have noted that Puyas had been forged by Meitei nationalists to support their reinvention of history and tradition.
