Bhairav Aryal

However, due to a throat ailment Aryal's voice had started to worsen because of which he was forced to leave the teaching profession.

By the age of 21, he had been appointed as a full-time journalist in the government-run national daily newspaper Gorkhapatra and was later promoted in the editorial group.

In 1965, his most highly acclaimed literary work Jaya Bhundi was published, which included the popular satirical essays 'Jaya Bholi' and 'Jaya Bhudi'.

The second part of the name, -donta, derives from the Greek word “ὀδών”, meaning “tooth,” and is a reference to Bhairav Aryal’s iconic smile.

The specific epithet is derived from the Nepali word “itishree”, which is the title of one of Bhairav Aryal’s books and translates to “The End”.
