Not long after the creation of [[Sarkarverse]], Abhidevananda began posting articles on Prabhat Samgiita. According to Abhidevananda, not long after that, he realized that the existing translations of Prabhat Samgiita required more work than a mere brushing up of the English. Thus, in 2014, Abhidevananda took up a 17-year project to retranslate all of the 5,018 songs. The projected completion of this literary work, at a rate of roughly one song per day, is for sometime in 2031. | Not long after the creation of [[Sarkarverse]], Abhidevananda began posting articles on Prabhat Samgiita.

The focus gradually shifted from an accurate line-by-line prosaic translation to an accurate and poetic, line-by-line translation. So it seems that any time saved in translation from Bengali to English was absorbed in the effort to find more appealing English expression. | ||
At first, all of the translation work was published only on Sarkarverse. After some time, that translation work was reflected on Abhidevananda's [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (contemplating the works of)]] blog. Later, the translations were also linked on various [[:wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]] pages. | At first, all of the translation work was published only on Sarkarverse.
