Hi Nitai...
Any update on your progress with this project? I cannot find a single english translation of Ujjvala Nilamani with commentaries by Jiva and Visvanatha, so I'm anxiously waiting for yours.

Hi Nitai... Any update on your progress with this project? I cannot find a single english translation of Ujjvala Nilamani with commentaries by Jiva and Visvanatha, so I'm anxiously waiting for yours. Hi Uttama. Welcome to the forum. My translation of the text is in its early stages. I plan to complete the text itself with notes from Sri Jiva and Visvanatha and occasionally Visnudas Goswami. Then I will add Sri Jiva's whole commentary. Visvanatha often just repeats what Sri Jiva has said almost verbatim. So once Sri Jiva is done a good chunk of Sri Visvanatha is done too. Then it will be a matter of focusing on the parts of Visvanatha that are not repetitions of Sri Jiva and there are some pretty interesting passages in that category. Visnudas tends to provide numerous additional verses that exemplify the same thing that Sri Rupa does in his verses. This is great because we get a much wider array of verses to enjoy. So that is the plan. At present I am in the fourth chapter (which I did before but somehow lost). I expect to finish the first volume up through chapter 8 sometime this year. I will post early versions of the translation in the Rasa section of the forum. |

Hey Nitai... By Krsna's arrangement last night I found online, a copy of a translation of Ujjvala Nilamani with the commentaries of Jiva and Visvanatha! It was done by Banu Swami. I can't find a hard copy for sale online anywhere though.
