Tandy, it is possible to sit with a Sanskrit dictionary (equipped
with, say, a fair background in the language and a good background
in one of the Sanskrit-based languages such as Hindi or Marathi) and
work through the Gita by oneself, seeking assistance along the way
whenever necessary from the more-informed and progress along these
lines. I can do this. The output will probably be approximate, not
definitive.
For a detailed study of the literature, its contextual purport and
attendent subleties, comparative analyses and judgments, and such like,
much more is entailed and it is a challenge even to the professionals and
experts in the field. This kind of investigation of the Gita I am not
competent to undertake.
Do you understand the difference now? Given your very poor display of
inference and comprehension of elementary matters such as these, one
must wonder about your ability to even read, much less understand, a
work of as great a poetic and philosophical depth as the Bhagavad Gita.
