The Bhagavad Gita is core Hindu scripture embedded within the Mahabharata, traditionally attributed to Vyasa, cited here from an 1885 English printing. As a primary scriptural text it is authoritative for what the text itself says at a given verse, not for a settled account of when it was composed or how it came to be included within the larger epic, both of which remain separate scholarly questions this citation does not resolve. Use it to establish a specific verse's wording; a claim about the text's dating, composition history or a particular school's interpretation of it needs a dedicated scholarly source.
