Ganguli’s English translation
Kisari Mohan Ganguli’s complete prose translation (1883–1896), public domain. It is organised in sections that follow a different edition from the critical-edition Sanskrit on this site, so it cannot be matched verse by verse. Where a section probably corresponds to an adhyāya, the site shows an approximate pointer and says so.
