William Carey and Languages

There are multiple references in his various letters where he writes about how various translations are coming along. I will post some of the references here. The reader can draw their own conclusions.

Letter describing his daily routine. He implies that he was attempting to learn multiple languages at that point of time with the help of various locals/natives.

Here we find him mentioning his book on Sanskrit grammar which he hoped to send to England.

A reference to the languages that Carey was somewhat familiar with as per him.

Another reference to Him translating Bible into Sanskrit.

When the defeated imperial troops reached Sirhind, Bahiram Khan was furious. He immediately set forth with his huge army. Ahmed Yadgar merely mentions that Tardi Beg was punished. The nature of the punishment is not mentioned.

But it's clear that he was killed at the behest of Bahiram Khan from other sources. Bahiram Khan now led the army himself. In the meantime, the loot that had fallen in the hands of Hemu was so huge that the idea of becoming a king and ruling over his land formed in his mind.

He adopted the title of Hemachandra Vikramaditya and seated himself on the throne of Delhi. Bahiram Khan, in the meantime had reached a place named Thanesar where the army was reorganized.

Hemu was by no means sitting ideal and the news of his vigorous measures were constantly reaching the Mughal camp sending waves of nervousness through them.

At Thanesar, Khan took Akbar to procure the audience of Kutbu-l-Aktab Saiyid Jalal Thenesari and begged him to give them the assistance of his prayers such was the panic caused by Hemu's movements.
