हैन नेपालमा अरु अनुवादक रहिन्छ खगेन्द्र सङग्रौला बाहेक ? अचम्म छ । सबै मरेछन कि क्या हो ? उनी बिते पछि के गर्छन् होला प्रकाशक हरु ? अनुवाद नै धराशायी हुने त हैन कतै ? साला प्रकाशक हरु । हुन त दलाइ लामा को पुस्तक अनुवाद गराए बापत ५० औं लाख कुम्ल्याउन पल्केका स्वोनाम्धन्य तथाकथित प्रकाशक हरु छन यहाँ ।सन्दूक रुइत को जीवनीको हालत पनि त त्यही त होला नि । वाहियात english मा पढ्न छाडेर नाथे अनुवाद पनि कोहि पढ् छ? होशियार पृय पाठ क हरु ।
