Dharma Ratna Yami is the kind of personality who feels familiar even to those who do not know him personally. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the credit for introducing him to the world goes to Mahapandit Rahul Sankrityayan. This is because Rahul captured Dharma Ratna in many pages of his travel literature, through which many intellectuals came to know him.

Why Janak Lal Sharma highlights this:
