Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Dear Chandra Prakash ji, Pt. Umesh Sharma ji is absolutely right in pointing out the two printing mistakes. We are grateful that he brought up this issue. The two printing mistakes that Pt. Umesh ji has pointed out do exist in the book. There are quite a few dozen other mistakes too. Pandit Roopchand ji issued an errata for the printing mistakes committed in the 1939 edition which was published in the 1940 edition. Pandit ji couldn't have got the errata added to the 1939 book itself. What does look bizzare is that the Hindi version gets printed in 2007 and that errata doesn't get added into the book. Those who might not be able to read the 1940 edition would never come to know that there is an errata to the 1939 edition. Consequently they might accept what ever is written in the 1939 edition as authentic and final. What is even more painful is that there is no note or indication that for the sake of authenticity the printing errors of the urdu edition have been retained as such and an errata to it will be included in the 1940 edition as was done by Pt. Roopchand ji. Now coming to the mistakes pointed out by Pt. Umesh Sharma ji. Both the mistakes are listed in that errata. For mars { page 7} it says that the last word 'sasural' be struck off. For rahu and the Sun [ page 203 ]the errata says: Instead of : Rahu jo suraj ka dushman hai khud use neech karta hai Be read as : Rahu jo suraj ka dushman hai khud use oonch karta hai We once again thank Pt. Umesh Sharma ji to have pointed out this drawback of the book. Sincerely, Varun , " cptyagi2007 " <cptyagi2007 wrote: > > Respected Pt.
