Translations of Set Texts:
Although the principle is that tutors should be able to translate the Set Texts themselves as part of their teaching ability, nevertheless it is often helpful to have a translation available. These are not intended to be official, fixed translations but are provided as a guide. At present, the following translations are available:
OPTION A
Ten Mahabharata Stories:
OPTION B
Hitopadesha Stories: The lion, the mouse and the cat; The crows and the serpent, with the lion, the old hare and the well; The birds and the apes; The ass in the tiger-skin; The hermit and the mouse that was changed to a tiger; The brahman and his jar; The brahman with the goat and the three rogues.
As better, or in some cases more modern translations become available they will be posted here.
Bhagavad Gita verses: Translations are included in the St James Book 3 and in the many published versions of this text.
