The Mahabharat which belongs to the ancient books of Hindustan has likewise been translated, from Hindi into Persian, under the superintendence of Naqib Khan, Maulana Abdul Qadir of Badaon, and Shaikh Sultan of T’hanesar. The book contains nearly one hundred thousand verses: His Majesty calls this ancient history Razmnamah, the book of Wars. The same learned men translated also into Persian the Rámáyan, likewise a book of ancient Hindústán, which contains the life of Rám Chandra, but is full of interesting points of Philosophy. Hájí Ibráhím of Sarhind translated into Persian the At’harban which, according to the Hindús, is one of the four divine books.
