Thanks Mrinal.and Klaus, It is nice to know I have not been suffering alone in my curiosity. MR Kale effectively changed my life. I have to get to know about him. Perhaps if we hit a dead-end, I'll one day go to the U of Bombay Skt department and ask some of the senior faculty about him. Best,J

Dear Jesse, Mrinal and all,
I have often wondered it (and in fact been quite annoyed): Everybody uses Kales works, but nobody knows anything on him. I have not even found the dates of the birth and death of Moreśvar Rāmcandra Kāle. In his books he is styled B.A., in 1911/24 he was living in Girgaon and had a son, V. M. Kale, who published new editions of his father’s works. This is all! I really hope someone can give more information.

Karmarkar is easier. There are two obituary notices, by A. D. Pusalker, ABORI 46, 1965, 191f. and V. M. Bedekar, VIJ 4, 1966, 89-91 giving the basic information about the career of this Poona scholar.

Best,
Klaus

If I may, as a matter of personal curiosity, can I add the name of Raghunath Damodar Karmarkar (1893-1965) to this list? It would indeed be very nice to know more about the biographical details of these matchless authors and translators. Thanks in advance. Mrinal

Dear Friends, I don't remeber if I've asked this before on list or not, but I've always wanted to know some more biographical info on MR Kale, through whose editions I first started reading Skt lit. I believe he taught at the University of Bombay, but apart from that I've never come across anything (and I know I've asked about somewhere). Thanks for any leads. Best,J
