Theragāthā: an approachable translation

[Snowbird]

The first translation was by Caroline A.F. Rhys Davids in 1913 as Psalms of the Brethren.

Theragāthā: Psalms of the Brethren—Psalms of the Early Buddhists II—Free EPUB, Kindle book

The Psalms of the Sisters, was one of the very first ebooks I ever created, over more than ten years ago. Like that book, the text of this edition had been digitized by someone else, in this case Michael M. Olds on obo.genaud.net Like her previous translation, this one includes a partial translation of the commentary, namely the background stories to the verses. As Bhante Sujato mentions in his essay here, the language of the verses is outdated. However the stories are a bit more readable.
