English: Bhagavad Gita is one of the scriptures of Hinduism, its best known. It has been widely translated in Indian languages as well as numerous non-Indian languages. Over 200 translations exist in the English language alone, with the first published in 1785 by Charles Wilkins.
The above image shows the opening pages of chapter 3 (verses 1-2 only, verse 3 partial) of the Bhagavad Gita in Gurmukhi script.
A part of verse 2.72 is also visible at the top. The entire Bhagavad Gita manuscript in Gurmukhi script was digitized by the Punjab University (Chandigarh, India) under the eGangotri-Vaidika Bharara initiative, then released under Creative Commons license. This is one of many historic manuscripts digitization initiatives underway in India and Nepal in public, private and monastic institutions.
