Panthoibi Naheron
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Panthoibi Naheron (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯦꯔꯣꯟ), also known as the Panthoibi Naheiron (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯩꯔꯣꯟ), or the Panthoibi Naherol (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯦꯔꯣꯜ), or the Panthoibi Naheirol (ꯄꯥꯟꯊꯣꯏꯕꯤ ꯅꯥꯍꯩꯔꯣꯜ) (transl. Panthoibi's incantations), is a classical Meitei language short literary work that tells the story of Panthoibi, a goddess in love. The story shows her emotions in a realistic and sometimes humorous way. It is not a retelling of an earlier work named the Panthoibi Khonggul but an original work of its own. It focuses only on one part of Panthoibi’s love story and uses simple language.
A manuscript textual version of the Panthoibi Naheron in the Meitei language, written on handmade paper material consists of 44 rolls, 264 folios, and 14 records, and is preserved in the Pt. N. Khelchandra Singh Collection, Imphal.
Another manuscript of the Panthoibi Naheiron, in the Meitei language and written in Meitei Mayek script, written on handmade paper and consisting of 34 pages in scroll form, with roll number 9 and record number 130, is preserved in the Dian Chandra Singh Collection.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Panthoibi Naheron” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q138299486. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
