Namaste Scholars and Members

Can you please help me find a copy of Śatakatraya (of Bhartṛhari) translated and interpreted by Arthur W. Ryder?

Also, are printed copies available anywhere (India/US/Europe)?

Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Warmly,

I don't see a shatakatrayam translation by Ryder in his bibliography.

A complete list of all of Arthur W. Ryder's Sanskrit translations has been collected here (https://shreevatsa.net/ryder/) by me: as you can see, there is no translation of the Śatakatraya per se. However, he published two books Women’s Eyes: Being Verses Translated from the Sanskrit (1910) and Relatives: Being Further Verses Translated from the Sanskrit (1919) both of which contain a few dozen verses translated from Bhartṛhari, and both of these were included, along with several more translations (including from Bhartṛhari), in the posthumous collection Original Poems: Together with translations from the Sanskrit (1939). All of these have been collected here (https://shreevatsa.net/ryder/verses/verses.html), with the Sanskrit sources/originals added where I could identify them.

You can read through the above page and manually filter to just those translated from Bhartṛhari, or read all 137 of them on this page (https://shreevatsa.net/bhartrhari/web/Ryder.html) — click on the "⟷" link below any verse to see other translations of the same verse, and its Sanskrit original. (Part of a Śatakatraya-related website I was working on, which is still very far from complete but should suffice for your question about Ryder's translations specifically.)

Wow! Thank you, Shreevatsa ji. Your website content is quite intriguing, wonder how you view Goedel, Escher, Bach (GEB). The links you'd shared here are helpful.
