Abstract
We, human beings, exist in a world where one witnesses ongoing communication in different languages. Everything is possible only with the help of translation. The translation is considered an automatic extension of anything verbal and valuable we intend to communicate. The process of communication passes through three different levels-personal, linguistic and cultural. Everything, full of philosophical ideas, is transferred from one generation to another, from the past to the present time, depending on persons who can move words, sentences, images, and themes from one language to another language. Translation has an essential and significant role in a country like India, where we come across different varieties of languages used by people living in other regions of the country. It is the result of translation that we get different versions after we translate any work. The Bhagavata stories, and retellings of the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata are examples of this regard. The Kathasaritsagar, the Jataka, and Hitopadesa are narratives that inspired the spread of hybrid stories. People from various corners of the world are familiar with well-known works only by utilising translation into different languages.
