This is an excellent rendering of the Devi Gita with the original Sanskrit (Devanagari) and English transliteration and translation.
It is often difficult to translate Sanskrit into English due to the multilevel language that it is. Swami Satyananada Saraswati has done an excellant job of conveying the rasa of the Sanskrit.
I always wondered what the meaning was of all the instruments the Goddesses carry were and here they are in this Gita. This is a translation and not a commentary, but with the clarity of the translation a commentary is not needed.
I would recommend reading the English translation first, then move on to the Sanskrit to get the sense of great poetry and rhythm of this work.
