The Baital Pachchīsī: Twenty-Five Tales of a Sprite (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Baital Pachchīsī Twenty-Five Tales of a Sprite

Now, in conformity with the command of the Pro fesso'r of Hindi, the bounteous patron, His Honour, Captain James Mouat, (may his prosperity last long!) Tarinicharan Mitra, (in preparing the work) for the press, has struck out such Sanskrit and Braj words as seldom occur in the Urdu dialect, and introduced words in current use. Some words, however, in use among the Hindus, the exclusion of which he regarded as detrimental, he has preserved intact. He trusts that the work may meet with a favourable reception.
