Transcription:

The Satsaī of Biharilal The full translation will eventually be published by Harvard University Press as part of the Murty Classical Library of India. The original is a collection of 714 couplets in Braj Bhasha. My attempt here is to render the verses in English tercets (albeit of varying line length) in recognition of the metrical regularity of the Braj couplets. The small selection of translation drafts given below shows a fairly typical sample of themes and styles. Rupert Snell
