J K Bargohain translated the book 'Lokayata Darshan' (written by: Debiprasad Chattopadhyay) from original Bengali to Assamese [Assamese (??????? Ôxômiya) is the easternmost Indo-Aryan language. It is used mainly in the state of Assam in North-East India. It is also the official language of Assam. -wikipedia]. They have not mentioned the language name in the brief report.
I have read the original Bengali book and Debiprasad is one of my favourite authors.
