Moreshwar Ramchandra Paradkar (Devanagari: मोरेश्वर रामजी पराडकर) (1729–1794), popularly known in Maharashtra as Moropant (मोरोपंत) or Mayur Pandit (मयूर पंडित), was a Marathi poet who was the last among those classified by Marathi literary scholars as pandit (पंडित) poets. He was born in a Karhade Brahmin family at Panhala. (Mukteshwar, Vaman Pandit, Raghunath Pandit, and Shridhar Pandit were other prominent pandit poets.)
Moropant had planned to write 108 Ramayan-s, but the actual number written by him comes to 94–95. Some of the versions probably cover only a stanza or two or five. He wrote Niroshhth Ramayan, which eschews all consonants of pa-varga. Since labial or oshhthya consonants are absent, it is called Nirishhtha Ramayan. Some versions were dedicated to a single poetic metre, like Vibudhapriya-Ramayan and Panch-chaamara Ramayan..his great-grandson Kapil ramkrushna paradkar stays at Pune at vitthalwadi sinhagad road .he retired from international book depot recently after 55 years of service
