A NOTE FROM TRANSLATOR
I consider i: an honour to be given the responsibility of translating into English the Hindi article on Acharya Hemchandrasoori by Muni Mitranadsagarji. While rendering it into English, I have tried to be faithful to the gist of the article. A few necessary changes have been made with the permission of the Munivar so as to make it more readable.
Translating a piece of literature from one language to another is as difficult as rendering a piece of music, written for the violin, on the piano. Still the effort has to be done for English readers. I have tried to be sincere and faithful to the original piece.
The whole translation has been looked over by my friend Mr. Carl Rodricks who offered valuable suggestions to improve the version. I am thankful to him for rendering this selfless service.
I am also grateful to the Munivar for considering me fit for the task and allowing me to render literary service. I hope I have done justice to the assignment to his satisfaction.
