Since then it has been<br \/>\nreprinted several times. The edition is the outcome of years of<br \/>\nstudy of the manuscripts of the poem. Differences between<br \/>\neditions are listed and explained in the &quot;Supplement to the<br \/>\nRevised Edition of <i>Savitri\u201d.<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"line-height: 150%;text-indent: 25pt;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">In spite of the explanations given in the Supplement, some<br \/>\nmisunderstandings about this edition have arisen. To clear them<br \/>\nup, the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust has issued a booklet, &quot;On<br \/>\nthe New Edition of <i>Savitri\u201d<\/i> (Part One). Questions raised after<br \/>\nthat booklet was published are answered in the present booklet. <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"line-height: 150%;text-indent: 25pt;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">The first two chapters of this booklet will resolve doubts<br \/>\nabout the authorisation of the new edition of <i>Savitri,<\/i> by showing that both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother wanted accidental changes in the text to be corrected according to the<br \/>\nmanuscripts. In the third chapter it will be seen that the Mother&#8217;s French translation agrees with some corrections made in<br \/>\nthe new edition. The last chapter explains a number of specific differences between editions, which have recently been<br \/>\nquestioned by critics. <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\" style=\"line-height: 150%;text-indent: 25pt;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n<font face=\"Times New Roman\">Readers having further questions or wanting free copies<br \/>\nof these booklets may write to the Copyright Department, Sri<br \/>\nAurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry 605002. <\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publisher&#8217;s Note &nbsp; The fourth edition of Sri Aurobindo&#8217;s Savitri, called the Revised Edition, was published in 1993.
