THE BHAGAVAD-GITA
WITH THE TEXT IN DEVANAGARI AND AN
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
By Mrs. Annie Besant
MONG the priceless teachings that may be found in
the great Hindu Epic of the Mahabharata there is
none so rare and precious as this-The Bhagavad-
Gita. Innumerable translations of the great classic have
appeared since the days of Warren Hastings, but
Dr. Besant's rendering is designed to preserve the spirit
of the original, especially its deeply devotional tone,
while at the same time it gives an accurate translation
reflecting the strength and terseness of the Sanskrit.
Over a lakh and thirty thousand coples of this
sacred Scripture of the Hindus have already been sold
and now another ten thousand copies of this astonishingly
cheap edition are issued for the benefit of the public.

The Prabuddha Bharata. In clearness of type, in size
and shape, the book leaves nothing to be desired. We
can heartily recommend it to all who want a trustworthy
pocket-edition of the Gita.'
The Modern Review.-'Mr. Natesan is bidding fair to be
the Indian Routledge. This finely printed edition of a
well known and excellent translation has been here
offered at an impossibly cheap price, and it should make
its way to every Indian home and heart.'
"
Capital. Every one who wishes to know something of
what the Hindu religion is in its purity ought to purchase
a copy of this little book and study it. It can be carried
in the vest pocket and can be easily read in little bits of
leisure moments.'
The Theosophist.- A handy little volume, the cheap-
ness of which is a surprise.'
Price per copy Annas Four. (Foreign 5d.)
Price of a single copy by V.P.P. is 8 (Eight) as.
Two copies 13 as. Three copies ke. 1-2.
Four copies Re. 1-7.
