thanks shruti
is it available online? if so plz provide link

Bibrek debroy has completed the translation?, University of chicago is also p0ublishing a translation in English based on the CE.

R.C dutt also did a translation and later P.lal did a complete translation of poetric translation of R.Cdutt, But is this unabridged?

Clay sanskrt libarary is also doing a translation ( 15 volumes done of 32) not based on the critical edition but on the version known to a famous scholar named Nilkantha.

Are there any other unabrigded translations in Hindi or bengali?

continuing discussion from EDT page 75
like even in war krishna took vaishnavaastra on himself and still was alive.atleast this should have made people think.

@Shrishti

may b
thanx for answering satyabhata.one more qu. some people consider krishna to b a different deity than vishnu.how much truth is there? who is kalpurush? parambrahma is same as brahma?what difference between golok dham and baikunth

@Srishti - returning to Karna... He wasn't a god, but he had a Kavach and Kundal he was born with. Imagine an armour that grows with you. In the same vein Sudarshan made Krishna extraordinary, but could it not have been perceived in the same vein? An extraordinary part of his astitva, but not something that necessarily made him devine. Just a weapon gifted him by the gods... as opposed to he has Sudarsan because he is a god.

Consider the case of Sudarshan the same as Gandiva.Arjuna was the only warrior that used Gandiva ,it was agni dev's weapon given to him by agni dev but necessarily didnt make arjuna agni dev similarly sudarshan chakra was also given to him by either agni dev or pashuram not sure hence dint necessarily make him vishnu incarnation

i think by the MB war everyone knew he was god i think so since he had shown his viraat roop in HP sabha itself when dury tried to arrest him so at that time they would have realized he is not an ordinary human being

My question still stands then. WHAT was baal leela and how was it explained? what were the doors of the prison that jailed his parents opening? what was killing putna and all the demons Kans sent? what was lifting the govardhan? what was thandav on shesh naag? what did people think all these were? MAGIC? Why was only krishna chosen for the sudarshan and no one else?

Having not personally observed much or any of that... maybe they thought it was exageration or hyperbole...

I think krishna had hand to hand duel with him(wrestling)

pls answer my other doubt. I get really confused regarding those different claims
