Bhagwat Geeta translated from Sanskrit to Marathi

समश्लोकी भगवद्गीता is the Marathi language translation of Bhagavad Gita by Sadashivrao Paranjape. Krishna explains to Arjuna why a just war must be fought, nature of life, and the paths to moksa. This treatise is present in Bhisma Parva, and known as Bhagavad Gita. It is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.

Bhagvad Gita is set in a narrative framework of a dialogue between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide and charioteer the god-king Krishna. Facing the duty to kill his relatives, Arjuna is counselled by Krishna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty as a warrior and kill." Inserted in this appeal to kshatriyadharma (heroism) is "a dialogue between diverging attitudes concerning and methods toward the attainment of liberation (moksha)".
