The Bhagavad-Gita or The Lord's Song Translation by Annie Besant
With the Text in Devanagari and An English Translation. Among the priceless teachings that may be found in the great Hindu poem of the Mahabharata, there is none so rare and precious as this—"The Lord's Song." Since it fell from the divine lips of Shri Krishna on the field of battle, and stilled the surging emotions of his disciple and friend, how many troubled hearts has it quieted and strengthened, how many weary souls has it led to Him !

With a view to overcoming this difficulty, by providing relevant cross rcfercnceSj as also to furnishing useful material to students oi philology and lexicograpliy, CoL G. A. Jacob had compiled a concordance to the principal Upanishads and the Bhagvadgita.

The Bhagavad-Gita with the commentary of Sri Shankaracharya.
;With the Bhashya of Sri Shankaracharya translated into English by A. Mahadeva Shastri, 2nd Edition, Mysore 1901. To the memory of H.H. Sri Chamarajendra Wadayar Bahadur, the Late Maharaja of Mysrore, Who took an active interest in the revival of our ancient literature and religion. Under the designation " VEDIC RELIGION " it is proposed to publish in a series English translations of some of the most important Ancient Scriptures of the Aryans with such authoritative commentaries as may throw more light upon their teachings. The Bhagavad-Gita justly heads the series, as embodying in a most popular form the essence of the whole Vedic Religion within a short compass.
The Song Celestial or Bhagavad-Gita (From the Mahabharata) by Sir Edwin Arnold
There is little else to say which the "Song Celestial" does not explain for itself. The Sanskrit original is written in the Anushtubh metre, which cannot be successfully reproduced for Western ears. I have therefore cast it into our flexible blank verse, changing into lyrical measures where the text itself similarly breaks. For the most part, I believe the sense to be faithfully preserved in the following pages
The Gospel of Selfless Action or The Gita According to Gandhi
"I have an impression that the bulk of the readers of [this] book will be students.... [And] let me make it clear that I lay no more claim to scholarship than does Gandhiji, but I am myself a student—as I hope to remain until my dying day—and it is out of sympathy for the needs of the people of my kind that I have presumed to introduce this additional matter." (Mahadev Desai, Gandhi's biographer, personal secretary, and father of Narayan, concerning his own introduction and this translation into English of Gandhi's Gujarati version.).
The Bhagavad Gita Translation by Shri Purohit Swami
Shri Purohit Swami was born into a religious and wealthy family in Badners, India, in 1882. He studied philosophy and law, received his LL.B. from Decan College, Poona, married and had three children. However, he did not practice law, and instead spent his entire life in spiritual devotion. He wrote in his native Marathi, in Hindi, Sanskrit and English – poems, songs, a play, a novel, a commentary on The Bhagavad Gita and an autobiography. He left India in 1930 at the suggestion of his Master to interpret the religious life of India for the West, and made his new home in England. It was here that he produced beautiful translations of The Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali’s Aphorisms of Yoga and – in collaboration with his great friend, the Irish poet W.B. Yeats – The Ten Principal Upanishads. He died in 1946.

The Bhagavad-Gita, The Book of Devotion From Sanskrit by William Q.Judge
12th Edition. The Theosophy Company, Los Angeles, California, 1934. The making of a commentary has not been essayed, because it is believed that the Bhagavad-Gita should stand on its own merits without comments, each student being left to himself to see deeper as he advances. The publisher of this edition holds that the poem can xvn be read in many different ways, each depending on the view-point taken, e. g., whether it is considered in its application to the individual, or to cosmogenesis, or to the evolution of the Astral world, or the Hierarchies in Nature, or to the moral nature, and so on.
The Song of the Lord Bhagavadgita Translation by Edward J. Thomas
With introduction and notes, published by John Murray, London. First edition 1931. Reprint 1948. The Wisdom of the East Series. Edited by J.L. Cranmer-Bync. The object of the editor of this series is a very definite one. He desires above all things that, tn their humble way, these books shall be the ambassadors of good-will and understanding between East and West, the old world of Thought, and the new of Action. He is confident that a deeper knowledge of the great ideals and lofty philosophy of Oriental thought may help to a revival of that true spirit of Charity which neither despises nor fears the nations of another creed and colour.
Bhagavad-Gita, The Sacred Lay By J.Cockburn Thomson
The Original Sanskrit text of Bhagavadgita has been digitized with the help of Government of Maharashtra. According to the Advertisement, "The manuscripts of the Bliagavad-Gitit, which were collated by Schlegel and Lassen, are thirteen in number, and all coincide to a wonderful extent. Of these, four are in the Bibliothil Imperiale at Paris, all in the Devanagari character ; seven in Library of the East India House; one in, the British Museum; while another was presented by Colebrooke to Schlegel, and is noW, I believe, in the Royal Library at Berlin. Not only is the likeness between these very striking, but it is even further extended to those MSS. which the Brahman Babarama employed for his edition of Calcutta, and those from which 'Wilkins and Galanos made their translations at Benares.• Wherever the MSS. differ, Schlegel and Lassen have made and defended a discreet choice, and in almost all cases I am content to follow in their footmarks."
