Bengali: আনন্দনগরে যখন দিনদুপুরে শেয়াল ডাকত তখন যঁআরা সেখানে মাটির পিদিমে দেলের সলতেয় সন্ধ্যাদ্বীপ জ্বেলে এসেছিলেন, তাঁদের নামে—
Translation: At Anandanagar, at a time when jackals howled in broad daylight, the people of households would light the evening flame of welfare in a tiny earthen lamp with a wick soaked in oil. To the names of those souls this book is dedicated.
