The Bhagavad-Gita (Wilkins Translation): While the specific text of the 1785 translation by Sir Charles Wilkins is in the public domain due to its age, direct searches for an *official* audiobook on major retail platforms (Audible, Google Play Books, etc.) yielded no direct, modern, unabridged product for purchase or standard library loan tied to the original 1785 publication or the author. Many independent readings or versions based on this public domain text likely exist but do not qualify as 'official' or publisher-backed retail offerings.
Summary
The book in question is the 1785 translation, "The Bhagvat-Geeta; or, Dialogues of Kreeshna and Arjoon," by Sir Charles Wilkins. This work is historically significant as the first English translation of the Bhagavad Gita, published at the expense of the East India Company, often with patronage from Warren Hastings. As a text from 1785, the original content is in the public domain. Targeted searches across Audible, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, OverDrive, Hoopla, and Libby did not return a clear, modern, officially published, unabridged audiobook version of Sir Charles Wilkins' specific 1785 translation being sold or directly offered by the listed platforms. Any existing audio versions are likely independent readings of the public domain text and do not meet the criteria for an 'official' retail offering.
