Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Bhagavad Gita is one of the scriptures of Hinduism, its best known. It has been widely translated in Indian languages as well as numerous non-Indian languages. Over 200 translations exist in the English language alone, with the first published in 1785 by Charles Wilkins.

The above image shows verses 3.1 and 3.2. The language is Sanskrit, the script is Devanagari. Winthrop Sargeant translates it as,

Arjuna spoke: If it is Your conviction that knowledge is better than action, O Krishna, Then why do You urge me to engage in this terrible action? (3.1)

With speech that seems equivocal, You confuse my intelligence. Tell me surely this one thing: How should I attain the highest good? (3.2)
