जी. एंचा पहिला यात्रिक..."मूळ कथा कोणाच्या वगैरे काहीच आढळत नाही"...Henry van Dyke's 'The Story of the Other Wise Man', 1895

पुरषोत्तम धाक्रस , 'सिंहा' वलोकन, 'आकाशफुले : जी. ए. कुलकर्णी', तिसरी आवृत्ती ', २०१०:

"...'यांत्रिक'.... हे केवळ अनुवाद आहेत एवढेच कळते. मूळ कथा कोणाच्या वगैरे काहीच आढळत नाही..."

"...After little research I found out that,  GA's Marathi story is a translation of Henry van Dyke's (1852-1933) short novel 'The Story of the Other Wise Man', 1895. 

Sadly and surprisingly, Henry van Dyke is not even mentioned any where! The credit is normally given like this: 'Original novella : Henry van Dyke, Translator: G. A. Kulkarni' ( 'मूळ लघुकादंबरी: हेन्री व्हॅन डाईक, अनुवादक: जी ए कुलकर्णी)

Also note that van Dyke died in 1933. Therefore, his story was not in public domain in India in October 1960!... "
