Book Description
Foreword

Of the three greatest classics in the sacred literature of India-the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Bhagavata- the last is probably the least well-known to English readers, so that the translation of a selection of tales from the Bhagavata rendered in free English verse by Dilip Kumar Roy must be heartily welcomed. Literal translations, however faithful, fail to bring out the beauties of the Sanskrit verse, while free translations are always open to individual interpretations. Mr. Roy frankly admits this and has not hesitated to allow his imagination rein in elaborating the terse and succinct Sanskrit text. It must be granted that if anyone has the right to embark on this literary adventure it is certainly the author, for not only is he qualified to do so by his superb command of the English tongue but also by reason of the fact that he has dedicated his life to the service of Lord Krishna, with the trans- mission of whose message to humanity the Bhagavata is so largely concerned. His magnificent flights of poetic fancy are resplendent with passionate love and devotion to the Lord.
