Review
“Mr. Sargeant must be congratulated on his 'labor of love.' One of the masterpieces of Indian―and human―religious genius has been made accessible in all its splendid and profound complexity.” ― Mircea Eliade, University of Chicago
“If you don't know Sanskrit but you still want to come to grips with the Gita in its original language, then this is the version for you. The Sanskrit is presented in both the Indian deva-nagari and in Roman script, together with an interlinear and very literal English translation. This is followed by a translation of each verse into more flowing and readable English. What makes this version so distinct is that every word is analyzed for its grammatical form and given a range of possible English equivalents. If you work with a verse for a while, you begin to see some of the nuances and possible alternative meanings present in the original―even if you don't know Sanskrit.” ―Yoga Journal
“Winthrop Sargeant furnishes not only a masterly translation and concisely informative introductions and notes but also a transliteration of the original text. This makes it possible for the newcomer to perceive and enjoy the sound of the original, which in India has always been given enormous and almost magical importance.” ― New Yorker
“This translation with all its added paraphernalia makes it not only an indispensable tool for those who use the Gita in the courses they teach, but for many, I suspect, this will be the first time they will be able to compare, with integrity, their 'English' understanding of the Gita and the original sound of the same document. There is no other Sanskrit text available to the English-language reader that can compare to this one in comprehensiveness of linguistic material. It took no less than 15 years to execute.” ― Philosophy East and West
