(Regarding Prithwi Singh's attempt to translate Savitri into Bengali.)

Prithwi Singh, my dear child,

If you want me to express frankly my view of this affair, I must say that I consider Savitri as untranslatable and will never encourage a translation of it except as a personal exercise for the sake of concentration on this unique marvel; but surely not for publication. That is why I cannot attach any importance to this contention.

With my love and blessings
