Writer Lal Rajendra Pratap Dev, who translated Geeta in Nagpuri, said that the purpose of translating Geeta in Nagpuri language is to popularize Geeta among the common people. Geeta is such a book, every word of which shows the right path to man. Because Gita was in Sanskrit, people were not able to read it or understand it. For this reason he translated it into Nagpuri.
