Swarupananda's edition preserves verse numbering, letting a specific verse be checked directly, a real methodological reason for the choice rather than a claim about either translator's institutional standing. Use it for the wording of a specific numbered verse of the Gita; it is a translation from within the Advaita tradition, so a claim resting on a different school's reading of the same verse needs a source from that school.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (224 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested2Swami Swarupananda's translation of the Bhagavad Gita, chosen over an alternative that prints continuous prose with no verse numbers, so this edition's preserved verse numbering lets a specific verse be checked directly; a translation from within the Advaita tradition specifically.NotesWell-attestedChosen over Telang's SBE 8 because Telang prints continuous prose with no verse numbers, so verse-level citation from it would be inference rather than quotation.CitationAuthorWell-attestedSwami SwarupanandaPublisherWell-attestedAdvaita Ashrama / Internet Sacred Text ArchivePublication YearWell-attested1909URLWell-attestedhttps://sacred-texts.com/hin/sbg/Source TypeWell-attestedprimary-textClaims Backed By This Source (224 claims)This source backs 224 claims across the atlas.
