Hello Jon,

     It would be useful to look at the edition of the Bhagavadgita, as part of the Critical Edition, edited by S.K. Belvalkar and published by the Bhandarkar Institute.  It notes the variation in manuscripts regarding all these details like the specific titles given to different chapters.

Hi,

When did intertitles (titles of the 18 chapters) in the Bhagavad Gita first appear?

Even more, from where comes the title ‘Bhagavad Gita’? (Pardon if I’m an ignorant and should know.)

 

Could someone kindly suggest literature on these topics?

 

Kind regards,

Jon Skarpeid
