aroDA sAhityasabhA taraphathI baroDA kolejamAM thaelA meLAvaDA prasage apAyelu sarTiphikeTa BARODA COLKEGE. BARODA 24th July 1935. TESTIMONIAL I have great pleasure in testifying to the abilities of Mr. Bhogilal Ratanchand Vora, Shighra Kavi, who is a Raj-Kavi of the Dharampur State. He can entertain an audience very well by his knack at prompt Extempore metrical compositions. He offered a lyrical treat to a meeting arranged by the Baroda Sahitya Sabha. He has a fine atr of adjusting his store of musical words and elegant thoughts to any subject suggested on the spot. While he was treating the audience in his own pre-arranged way, he was asked by some people from the audience to sing some fresh compositions on (1) The College Hall (2) An Ideal professor, and so on, and he could Immediately prepare the required compositions and sing them. It was delightful to have attended his performance, and we hardly tealised that two hours have passed away when he finished his siuging. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat A. K. Trivedi. Professor, Boroda College, and President, Baroda Sahitya Sabha. www.umaragyanbhandar.com
