Essays on the Gita [3]

I have compiled a translation of most of the slokas of the Gita, using your interpretation of them in the Essays on the Gita. I request you to give me permission to publish the book as it will help the public to understand the Gita from your point of view.

The permission cannot be given – the translations in the Essays are more explanatory than textually precise or cast in a literary style – I do not want that to go out as my translation of the Gita.
