                    Literature Historian:  Bhishma Kukreti

      Professor  Baldev Prasad Nautiyal is famous for his article writing, writing about aspects of philology of Garhwali , and creating poetry in Garhwali . He got fame in Sanskrit literature creation and was  a  Hindi writer too.
      Baldev Prasad Nautiyal was born in 1895, in Kadakot, Gagwadsyun of Pauri Garhwal. He passed M .A in Sanskrit from Lahor University , Lahor and started his career as Sanskrit lecturer in Lahor College. 
  Very soon, Baldev Prasad Nautiyal  became expert of training to teachers, creating new style of Sanskrit study in schools and colleges,  and syllabus making for Sanskrit language in Lahor. He published many books for college studies in Sanskrit language and  his book “Dwitiya Pathy Pustakam’ in Sanskrit became the most famous syllabus book for colleges.
       After partition, he spent some times in Chamoli as Principal in Eastmain . Later on he shifted to Delhi.
         He created a Garhwali dictionary in Lahor but was lost while escaping from Lahor to Delhi. He rewrote this dictionary in Delhi . This dictionary is more about finding the origin of Garhwali words than the meaning. However, as Kanhayalal Dandriyal could not publish his 45,000 words dictionary, Nautiyal could not publish his works of eminent. There is a sample of his work for Garhwali dictionary published by Garhwali Sahitya Parishad Lahor in 1942, titled as ‘Garhwali Shabd Bhandar’. By studying the sample, any body can guess that the work of Nautiyal is of high research and Nautiyal had deep knowledge of Sanskrit, Pali, Maghadi, Khadi Boli and Garhwali as well. 
We have only left a published work in Garhwali language ’ Chhaya Ramayan’ a poetry collection and a novel in Garhwali- Byalmun-Byunral. Respectful researcher late Pitamber Dutt Devrani states that he published his memoir in Hindi and published many essays of philological subject of Garhwal language in Garhwali and Hindi as well.
Professor Nautiyal expired in Delhi at the age of eighty six  on 30 June, 1981.

चुप क्या छै तु , बोल क्या ब्वलदी ?
रज्जा को ज्यु किछ त  नि होयो !
गुमसुम क्या छे तु , म्यरि मंथरा हैं ! रोण त नि छै लगीं तु छोरी ?
मंथरा हौर गुमसुम होय दण मण रोय चल्यतर लगि कन्न गंगजोण लगि उगसासि ल्हेण कनि   बौळेय स्या आग लगौण्या !
र्वै    र्वै  (र्  वै ) कि वीन आँखि लाल कैनि मुंड पकड़िक वा खड़ी होय उमाळ भरेय बोल नि सअकी आंख्यों बिटि फिर , ढांडो पोड़े बुका बुकि कैक सो धां वा रोय जनु वींको क्वी मोरी होय धुक धुकि लगौण्या संवाद बिंगौण्या इनि बि ह्वूंदन दूद की माखी तिरया।
