A Prose English Translation of Harivamsha
A Prose English Translation of Harivamsha renders into English the supplement to the Mahabharata that tells the lineage and life of Krishna, in the version made by Manmatha Nath Dutt and published in Calcutta in 1897. The first part traces the creation and the genealogies of the solar and lunar dynasties down to the Yadavas; the second, the longest, recounts Krishna's birth, his childhood among the cowherds of Vrindavana, the killing of the tyrant Kamsa, the founding of Dvaraka, his marriages and his wars; the third looks forward to the end of the age. Dutt, a prolific translator of Sanskrit texts, follows the original closely and leaves many names and terms untranslated. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
