Who is man math a Nath Dutt?\n This Question starts hauntingbibek Debroy when he finds that name imprinted\n on the translations of almost all ancient texts that he too wants to\n translate from Sanskrit text into English. While multiple translations are\n not uncommon, what were the chances of two translators invariably choosing\n the same set of texts? It was almost like man math a Nath Dutt had left a\n trail forbibek Debroy to follow. And that sets off Debroy on the road to\n discovering more about the translator extraordinaire who had largely remained\n ignored so far. Gathering material and sifting through clues, following\n various leads and discarding some, Debroy pieces together a jigsaw puzzle to\n reveal a picture of the prolific translator man math a Nath duty and of\n nineteenth-century Calcutta.
