Sanskrit to English:
तौ रामायणं, महाभारतं च मिलित्वा एव अध्यैयातां, तौ मराठानां वीरकृत्यानां कथाः मिलित्वा एव अध्यैयातां, तथा च हिन्दूवीरकथाभ्यः चोदिताभ्यः उदात्तप्रेरणाभ्यः तयोः युवहृदये मिलित्वा एव अस्पन्देताम्।
They had read the Ramayana and the Mahabharata together; they had read together the accounts of the warlike deeds of the Mahrattas, and their young hearts had throbbed together at the noble inspiration which the stories of Hindu heroism awoke.
