My first acquaintance with the Gita began in 1888-89 with the verse translation by Sir Edwin Arnold known as the Song Celestial.
How could I then dare present the public with my translation?.
Then again my knowledge of Sanskrit is limited, my knowledge of Gujarati too is in no way scholarly.
But all such reading can give me no passport for presenting my own translation.
And I read as many translations as I could lay hold of.
On reading it, I felt a keen desire to read a Gujarati translation.
