  'The aim of my expedition was to inspire young people and students from my kind of background,' she told BBC on a satellite phone from Base Camp, following her treacherous 2 52-day climb.
  52天的惊险旅程结束后,普尔纳在大本营接到了BBC采访的卫星电话,她说,“这次远征的目的是鼓舞那些和我同样家庭背景的年轻人和学生。”

  Her overjoyed parents couldn't contain their pride during a special ceremony to mark Malavath's achievement.
  她的父母非常开心,在玛拉瓦创造新纪录的庆功会上他们难掩骄傲之情。
  'We are happy that our girl has set the world record. We know she will go places. She is not only bright in academics, but also in adventure,' Malavath's parents told Times of India.
  玛拉瓦的父母告诉《印度时报》记者,“我们很高兴自己的女儿能创造世界纪录,我们知道她会到达很多地方。她不仅学业出色,而且富有冒险精神。”
  They said they hoped their son Naresh would also conquer Everest one day.
  他们还说希望自己的儿子纳雷什将来有一天也能够登顶珠峰。
  Officials said this achievement is even more impressive as they climbed the peak from the more difficult Tibetan side. Most climbers scale the world's tallest mountain from the easier Nepalese side, but Nepal forbids climbers younger than 16.
  官方人士称,玛拉瓦及其所在登山队的成就、比以往登顶珠峰的人更令人印象深刻,因为他们是从更险峻的西藏一侧路线登顶珠峰的。大部分爬珠峰的人都会选择更容易的尼泊尔一侧登山,但是尼泊尔禁止16岁以下的人攀爬珠峰。
