I would like to bring to your critical notice my 'Bhagvad-Gita: Treatise of Self-help' in rhythmic verses sanns 110 inane interpolations such as chãturvarnyam which has been accorded the pride of place by 'Great Books and Classics' site among its translations http://www.grtbooks.com/bhagavad.asp?idx=0&lng=al&lst=al&aa=AA&at=BH&yr=-400
Here's its synopsis and the link to its audio book besides its text in PDF, that was originally published by Project Gutenberg http://self.gutenberg.org/eBooks/WPLBN0002097652-Bhagvad-Gita-Treatise-of-Self-Help-by-Murthy-B-S-.aspx?
"Bhagavad-Gita is the most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue’ so opined William von Humboldt.
In this modern rendition, the beauty of the Sanskrit slokas is reflected in the rhythmic flow of the English verse of poetic proportions even as the attendant philosophy of the song that is the Gita is captured in contemporary idiom for easy comprehension.
The general consensus is that the in vogue Gita of 700 slokas has many an interpolation in it, but no meaningful attempt has ever been made to delve into the nature and extent, not to speak of the effect of these on the Hindu society at large. The methodical codification of interpolations carried out here puts the true character of Gita in proper perspective. Identified here are hundred and ten slokas of deviant nature and or of partisan character, the source of so much misunderstanding about this book extraordinary, in certain sections of the Hindu fold. In the long run, exposing and expunging these mischievous insertions is bound to bring in new readers from these quarters to this over two millennia old classic besides altering the misconceptions of the existing adherents."

Hope you would like to take note of this new outlook of the ancient text sans 110 interpolations the codification of which is summarised in my "Mundane distortions in the Divine discourse of Bhagvad-Gita" https://www.academia.edu/27053858/Mundane_distortions_in_the_Divine_discourse_of_Bhagvad-Gita
