A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India v3.c18.52

v3.c18.52

Kellogg (p. 245) refers to the phrase धारन धारयं in Chand’s first verse as confirming the derivation from धारक; but this identification rests on a translation of that verse very confidently put forward by a writer whose high estimate of himself as a translator of Hindi has not yet been confirmed by the opinion of scholars in general. The translation in this particular instance is extremely uncertain, and no argument can be based on it.
