Excerpt from Tales of the Saints of Pandharpur
In my translation I have adhered as closely as I could to the original; but in many places I have been forced to cut out imagery which, suitable enough in poetry, would seem weari some and exaggerated in prose. Even as it is, some of my readers may perhaps complain that I have retained too many of the poet's similes. My reply is that I felt bound as trans lator to retain as much of the original as I could.
