Mahabharata reference

[Guest guest]

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

In Bg. 4.1 the following reference is given "Mah€bh€rata (®€nti-parva

348.51–52)."

 

One devotee suggested this should be ®€nti-parva 349. He said he got this

from Ganguli's edition. The 51-52 he could not check.

 

I wrote to Ekanath prabhu (Alviks Gard) for a confirmation and he wrote:

 

----------------------------

"When quoting from the Mahabharata it is important to name the edition from

which the quote has been taken. (...) The best, and most respected source

for MBh quotes is the Critical Edition of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research

Institute (BORI). (...) The verses you are asking for are, with some minor

differences, found in the CE, where they appear as Santi-parva 336.47 and

336.48a:

Thus I have three references:

 

1. ®€nti-parva 348.51–52

2. ®€nti-parva 349.51–52

3. ®€nti-parva 336.47–48a

 

Could you kindly tell me which one I should use?

 

Thank you very much in advance. Hare Krishna.

Your humble servant,

Rogier.
