Howard Lawn is presently working on an ancient Sanskrit text from one of the oldest and only recently discovered Vedas:‘ The Gita Hari’. It will not be a word-for-word translation as much of the ancient text has been destroyed or lost. However, having researched other later texts of this same tradition and being well acquainted with the Vedanta (Vedic wisdom), Lawn has managed to reconstruct the essential parts of the old Vedic tales which have been developed, interpreted and revealed in later works. Lawn has already constructed a very readable and prescient version of these fragmented texts but still feels that there is many details that still require reworking. Here below are some extracts from the Mayavian section of the manuscripts regarding the student Halaff:

Tá Howard Lawn ag obair faoi láthair ar cheann de na láimhscríbhinní is sine nár thángthas air ach le déanaí. ‘An Gita Hari’. Ó tá cuid mhór den seantéacs úd scriosta nó caillte, níorbh fhéidir ach athchruthú ginearálta a dhéanamh ar ábhar na láimhscríbhinní. Ach tar éis taighde fada a dhéanamh ar théacsanna eile sa traidisiún céanna a rinneadh ní ba dhéanaí ná ‘An Gita Hari’ ;an Vedanta (an Ghaois Véadach) agus na Uspanishaid, mar shampla, éiríonn le Lawn athchóiriú nua-aimseartha inchreidthe agus inmholta a chur ar hiarsmaí atá fágtha dúinn fós. Agus buíochas leis sin, cuirfear faoinár mbráid sleachta teagaisc ó aimsir roimh na téacsanna creidimh Hiondúigh is seanda. Scéalta inléite agus téagartha is ea iad agus Lawn ag obair ar na láimhscríbhinní seo le breis agus deich mbliana. Tá súil againn go mbeidh fáil ar an saothar iomlán criochnaithe sar I bhfad. Idir an dá linn, tugtar cúpla sliocht as an leabhar thíos anseo:

The Second Book of the ‘Gita Hari’
Halaff meets Xavas

And when Xavas was sitting at the Tree of Bam Sayantana, Halaff, his student, approached him and sat down where he sat and asked him: What is suffering, my Lord Xavas? And Xavas replied saying. It is the opening of shut eyes, it is the unblocking of silent ears, it is the unbinding of bound hands and feet.

There was a generous noble man who once while travelling in a poor land helped a beggar and gave him food to eat and wine to drink. When the noble man was asleep, the beggar robbed him and broke his legs so that the noble man could not follow him while he, the beggar would make good his escape. The noble man, however, awoke in great pain and asked the beggar why he had done this thing. You gave me much but I wanted more, replied the beggar. But if you had asked me, I would have given you as much gold, wine and food as you ever desired. It is not your gold, nor food nor wine I want, but your compassion.
