Guest guest Posted December 28, 1998 Report Share Posted December 28, 1998 Dear devotees, please accept my respectful obeisances unto Your lotus feet! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all other Vaisnavas! All glories to Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai and Sri Sri Radha-Govinda! Please, let me ask a question. In the books like Lalita-madhava, Vidagdha-madhava, etc. (even in Caitanya-caritamrta) we meet here and there verses or text passages written in Pali (a Prakrta language). Not seldom, we can find a corresponding Sanskrt version of Pali text in a commentary, footnotes or somewhere else (especially if it's an Indian print). At this point I would like to ask whether these Sanskrt renderings were originally written by the authors or they are simply additions made by editors of printed books? I remarked that for example in two different editions of Vidagdha-madhava I saw completely identical Sanskrt renderings of Pali texts, so that I could not understand whether they were originally written by Srila Rupa Gosvami Prabhupada or are simply commonly accepted Sanskrt translations. I would be very glad if someone could answer this question of our humble self. Thank You in advance. Please, accept my respectful obeisances unto Your lotus feet! Your insignificant servant, Sergei Schmalz. Hare Krsna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
