| Research Abstract |
During this period, I translated 62 heroic poems from PuRanaanuuRu and published them. Through this work, I have known that the interpretation between literal translation and final readable one is most important for scholars, and it is indispensable for it not only intensive reading of texts but encyclopedic knowledge. Only afterwards we could attain the problem of the authenticity of authorship and colophons, and actually I have developed some hypotheses about them.
