Description

Srimad Bhagavata is a monumental book among the devotional work which are the pride and glory of the Sanskrit Literature. Some one or two English translations complete or partial of this great work were published some considerable time ago and they have been long out of print. In addition to the change in the plan and scope endeavours have been made in this translation to give greater attention to the devotional aspect and tone of the original.

It is true that a translation of a great poem into a foreign language can never bring out the charm of the original, however skilful the translator might be, but no translation can be said to fulfil its purpose if it fails at least to shadow forth the original in its most prominent feature.
.

The present translation is an attempt to give a faithful rendering of the Bhagavata which will reflect, however faintly, its real tone and spirit.
