Manmatha Nath Dutt stands as one of India's foremost translators, dedicated to making a vast corpus of Sanskrit literature accessible to the English-speaking world. His prodigious translation efforts encompass foundational epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, alongside pivotal Puranas, Tantras, and Dharmashastra texts. Beyond translation, Dutt also authored original works, including a biography of the Buddha, retellings of Puranic narratives, and treatises on Hindu metaphysics and household dharma. He further established and edited "Wealth of India," a periodical exclusively focused on English translations of premier Sanskrit works.
