So, while translating a certificate we should transliterate it and put in brackets the words Hons. in Hindi because it is a degree equivalent to graduation in Hindi.

Ornament of literature

This is a kind of degree or honor given to a person having training or achievement in literature. Some people also keep this as their nick name.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Sanjiv Sadan (X) : This does not fit in the context as the text is about a degree and we can't translate the name of degrees. These should be transliterated.

Dear Sanjvi, please also read my explanation. The transaltion is done to clear the meaning understand. You may think before making a comment as this may be unnecessarily detrimental.

Degree in Literature

As it is not clear if the text is in context of India or Nepal, I would prefer to translate the given word as "Degree in Literature". However, "B.A. degree in Literature" can also be one of the options.

"Sahityalankar Asthayee Praman Patra" can be translated as "Temporary Degree in Literature" or "Temporary B.A. Degree in Literature".

Peer comment(s):
disagree C.M. Rawal : The word 'asthayee' in the context of a certificate means 'provisional' and not temporary.
5 hrs
"Provisional" is commonly used in India. However, if the text is being translated for the western reader, 'temporary' can be considered as the equivalent term for 'asthayee'. Please look at the example on http://www-e.openu.ac.il/academic/23606.html

Graduation with literature (Sanskrit/Hindi)

From years ago, 'Sahityalankar' stands for degree in Sanskrit literature. After Independence,some educational boards using this term for graduation degree in Hindi language also.
Here, obviously, this term is used for hindi language.

So, Sahityalankar Asthayee Praman Patra= Provisional Certificate for Graduation with Hindi Literature(Sahityalankar).

This is a specific term of a degree of Sanskrit/Hindi,so it should be retained anyway.
