The verse text and our conversation serve different purposes. Sanskrit and attributed English come from the source collection. Modern explanations and practical suggestions are AI-assisted reflections.
Eight curated entries use original plain-language meanings and link to Swami Mukundananda’s edition for further reading. His modern commentary is not reproduced here.
The wider collection follows Annie Besant’s fourth edition, 1922, transcribed by English Wikisource contributors. Its historical English is shown with attribution; the conversational explanation uses modern English.
The source edition contains 701 numbered entries across 18 chapters. Chapter 13 includes Arjuna’s opening question as verse 1; editions that omit it number later verses one lower.
We checked chapter counts, verse sequence and language boundaries, and documented nine English verse-marker anomalies. These structural checks do not substitute for scholarly review of every spelling or interpretation.
The underlying Sanskrit and 1922 translation are public domain in the United States, as recorded by the source. Transcription contributions are credited to English Wikisource contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0 where applicable.
HTML and footnotes were removed, whitespace normalized and verse-marker anomalies documented. Source chapter links and provenance remain attached to the data. We do not treat these terms as permission to copy modern translations or commentary.
