Help to a translator

[Brandes]

Hi friends!

I've been translating Vikram Seth's novel "Suitable Boy", and I seek for an explanation. Actually, there is a term I'm not sure I fully understand. What exactly MLA means? I guess it's a sort of representative but it stays unclear in what kind of body.

I would be very grateful for any help. :confused: ;)
