Being well studied in Sanskrit and English, he was able to recite Vedas.In 1891 he became the first Curator of the Oriental Library and began translating the classic Bhagavat Gita commentaries by Sri Shankaracharya into English. He was praised by Swami Vivekananda for this commendable work. Sastri book was published in 1901.The translation is comparable to other translations and gives precise translations of difficult Sanskrit words.In editing this book, I removed all the commentaries and kept just the sloka translations. This allows for smooth reading of passages.
