Sri Aurobindo — Nahar, Prithwi Singh

December 3, 1936

Mother,

... Last year I got from Purani some translations of the Rig-Vedic hymns done by the Master after the retirement.... I have not given any copies to anybody except one to Nolini. I have just retyped them for myself and Parichand wanted my old copy. I am sending the same to You Mother and shall keep it only if You will allow me to do so, because to possess a thing like this without your knowledge is not good.

These translations are provisional, not final – so I should not like them to be freely copied and seen by all; but I have no objection to your keeping a copy.

I have written two sonnets. Both of them are devotional from different angles. I shall be glad to know how the Master likes them.

I find both of them very fine.

Sri Aurobindo
