Koirala was a key advisor to Sir Ralph Lilley Turner who published Comparative and Etymological Dictionary of the Nepali Language in 1931.[2] He wrote poems about social reforms.[3][4]
Koirala was born in Sindhuli District and had studied Sanskrit and English from Banaras, British India.[5] In Banaras, he saw Indian people promoting their mother tongue which inspired him to "think about Nepal and the Nepali language".[5]
