  2. hinduscriptures.com

  • Unabridged, verse by verse translation. Not sure who the author or publisher is - the website ingeniously removed all those details!

    • Unabridged, but this is from 1896 so uses archaic English ('thou art', 'thou hast' etc.)
    • A couple of translations could be missing here and there, e.g., in the opening chapter Vyasa compares the Pandavas and Kauravas with two trees, but this one only mentions one of them:

    Yudhishthira is a vast tree, formed of religion and virtue; Arjuna is its trunk; Bhimasena, its branches; the two sons of Madri are its full-grown fruit and flowers; and its roots are Krishna, Brahma, and the Brahmanas.

  2. indianscriptures.comhinduscriptures.com

  • Unabridged, verse by verse translation. Not sure who the author or publisher is - the website ingeniously removed all those details!

  • This mentions both those trees, so better compared to the above tr.

    Duryodhana is like a great tree created out of anger, Karna is its trunk; Shakuni is its branches; Dushasana its fruit and flowers and weak Dhritarashtra is its root.

    Yudhishthira is a great tree, created out of virtue and religion; Arjuna is its trunk; Bhima is its branches; two sons of Madri are its flowers and fruits; and Krishna, Brahma and Brahmanas are its roots.
