Wow this is so fascinating. Thanks so much to you, Csaba, and Judit Torzok for sharing this information with us.

To expand on Csaba's message below: the Hungarian translation is online at

According to an anecdote, Indian listeners could recognise the Gītagovinda when they heard parts of this recited in Hungarian. It is indeed a brilliant work of translation that matches the original metres with an accuracy I'd estimate over 95%, and more
with some licence. It also reproduces almost all of the rhyme/anuprāsa in the songs. That said, the transcreation is far from accurate content-wise, and Vekerdi remained at odds with Weöres ever after.

Dear Jesse,
Do Ugric languages count? There is a brilliant metrical Hungarian translation, a collaborative effort of the Sanskritist József Vekerdi, who made a prose translation from the Sanskrit and of the poet Sándor Weöres who versified it.
Dzsajadéva, Gíta Govinda. Pásztorének. Magvető, Budapest, 1982.
Can anyone tell me if the 12th/13th century Sanskrit poem Gītagovinda has been translated into any Slavic or east Asian languages? or any other
languages that people might be less commonly aware of? Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, German, English, etc. accounted for. Best,
भवदीयः,J
