(c) Translation Technology : This translation work has been undertaken on the basis of the above points in mind alongwith the following additional salient features : (i) It has been pointed out that this explanatory has autocommentary on its semi-aphorisms. In fact, it is the autocommentary which gives the real purport of the semi-aphorisms. It would have been a high repetition to give their import also. Hence, they have not been taken into consideration in this translation. This does not cause any disadvantage in any way. (i) The Hindi translator of this explanatory gave only the gist of the contents in running Hindi. He did neither have the commentarial introduction nor question-answer-based treatment of the contents. The translation does not have even the general import of the original aphorisms. All these three features have been incorporated in this work. (iii) Based on the points c-i and c-ii above, the following 5-point serial has been followed during this translation : 1. Translation of introduction to the aphorism. 2. The basic aphorism of Umāsvāti (with its chapter and aphorism number) with diacritical marks. 3. The import of the aphorism.
The number-wise semi-aphorismic translation using questionanswer technique wherever appropriately observed in the explanatory. 5. Supplementary notes.
Besides the above 5-point translation, Introduction in the beginning and necessary Appendices at the end have also been given. Details of Chapter 5
This chapter has 42 aphorisms in D-version and 44 in the Sversion. The same processes of addition, deletion and different renderings ( in about 21% of aphorisms) as in chapter 2 are observed here too as below in contrast to D-version : (i) Addition (in S-version) (ii) Deletions (from D-verion) 1.
