Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Prose English Translation of Srimadbhagabatam, Vol. 1
I'have tried in this to translate as literally as possible the original text, though I have not considered it necessary to put in the numbers of the Slokas. I must admit that in rendering some of the passages I have been constrained to hetree 'or else I could not have made the sense clear. Any other transla tor, I am sure, will find the same difficulty. There are many imperfections in my Translation, I candidly say but I have tried my best to interpret the great ideas imbeded in this lofty work of Vysa in such a way that the ordinary readers might feast on his great philosophical teachings. I have not tried to translate commentaries - lint in my humble view they will prove a propitable reading to the scholars who may as well read the original work, but not to the general readers. Besides this, they are so many' in number that their addition would have' rendered the work costly beyond the mass of the general public, and requ1red twenty years more of my life to complete.
