Narayaneeyam Bhagavata Condensed - English | By Swami Tapasyananda

• The present edition of the Narayaneeyam aims at giving a lucid and readable translation of this great Sanskrit Text to the English reading public interested in Indian devotional literature. While the translation is ' free,' it is never unfaithful to the original.
• It is based on the edition of the Text by two very competent Sanskrit scholars, Sri P.S. Anantanarayana Sastri and Sri Vatakumkur Raja Raja Varma, published in Malayalam script with a commentary.
• Though none can vouch for the historical accuracy of much of these materials, they are in a sense of greater interest than the dry details of history, as they give us a deep insight into the versatility of the great mind we are contacting through this poetical hymn.
• It is hoped that this translation of the Narayaneeyam into a world language like English will attract the attention of a wide public to this great Text and through it, to the great Bhakti tradition of India.
