I Haue Thought It Very Requisite For Thy Further Instruction And Direction In This Historie (Good Reader) To Acquaint Thee Brieflie With The Methode And Order Which I Haue Vsed in the Whole Course Thereof: And By The Way Also To Let Thee Vnderstand By Whose Friendly Aide In this My Trauell I Haue Bene Furthered: Acknowledging That Ancient Speach To Be No Lesse True Then Inenious, That The Offence Is Great, Non Agnoscere Per Quos Profeceris, Not To Speake Of Them By Whom A Man In his Indeuours Is Assisted. Concerning My Proceeding Therefore In this Present Worke, It Hath Bene This. Whatsoeuer Testimonie I Haue Found In any Author Of Authoritie Appertaining To My Argument, Either Stranger Or Naturall, I Haue Recorded The Same Word For Word, With His Particular Name And Page Of Booke Where It Is Extant.

The Object Of a Translator Should Ever Be To Hold The Mirror Upto His Author. That Being so, His Chief Duty Is To Represent So Far As Practicable The Manner In which His Author'S Ideas Have Been Expressed, Retaining if Possible At The Sacrifice Of idiom And Taste All The Peculiarities Of his Author'S Imagery And Of language As Well. In regard To Translations From The Sanskrit, Nothing is Easier Than To Dish Up Hindu Ideas, So As To Make Them Agreeable To English Taste. But The Endeavour Of The Present Translator Has Been To Give In the Following pages As Literal A Rendering as Possible Of the Great Work Of vyasa. To The Purely English Reader There Is Much In the Following pages That Will Strike As Ridiculous. Those Unacquainted With Any Language But Their Own Are Generally Very Exclusive In matters Of taste. Having no Knowledge Of models Other Than What They Meet With In their Own Tongue, The Standard They Have Formed Of Purity And Taste In composition Must Necessarily Be A Narrow One. The Translator, However, Would Ill-Discharge His Duty, If For The Sake Of Avoiding ridicule, He Sacrificed Fidelity To The Original. He Must Represent His Author As He Is, Not As He Should Be To Please The Narrow Taste Of those Entirely Unacquainted With Him. Mr. Pickford, In the Preface To His English Translation Of the Mahavira Charita, Ably Defends A Close Adherence To The Original Even At The Sacrifice Of idiom And Taste Against The Claims Of what Has Been Called 'Free Translation,' Which Means Dressing the Author In an Outlandish Garb To Please Those To Whom He Is Introduced.
