Standard Translation — IAST, word make-up, and English

The Standard Translation pages keep the same Devanagari and chant audio. Under each śloka the page stacks IAST, then the English reading that keeps unique Sanskrit terms and puts the English sense in parentheses. Hover or tap a word in the IAST line for the make-up of that word. This is not a copy of Prabhupāda or of any other published translation.

Devanagari (Sanskrit) text

Devanagari Sanskrit shlokas are the traditional Bhagavad Gītā verse text as presented with the same chapter/verse numbering in Bhagavad-gītā As It Is (VedaBase / Bhaktivedanta Book Trust edition).
