Degree in Literature


Explanation:
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 comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
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)


Explanation:
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.
