		For instance, Prabodhchandra Bagchi discovered and published the Tibetan translations of Charyapada and then pointed to the language in which the songs or poems in question were all composed.
		But there are certain translations of Charyapada that immediately attest to the lyrical energy and imagistic intensity and even theoretical richness of the songs in question.
		Some critics have rightly gone to the extent of characterizing the Charyapadas as the songs of the subaltern, the marginalized, the subjugated—songs that offer images of the quotidian and the mundane, representing the life of common, ordinary, and suffering folks.
