- Online libraries and eBook stores: You can search for "Yayati" on online libraries like Google Books, Amazon Kindle Store, or Apple Books. Some platforms may offer a free preview or a downloadable version of the book.
- Marathi eBook websites: There are several websites that offer Marathi eBooks, including "Yayati". You can try searching on websites like Marathi eBook, eBook Panchayat, or Granthagar.

Should You Read it in English or Marathi?
- Read the Marathi original if you can. Khandekar’s command of Marathi is legendary. The rhythm, the metaphors, and the raw power of the dialogue are best experienced in the native tongue.
- Read the English translation (by Y.P. Kulkarni) if you don’t know Marathi. The translation is faithful and captures the philosophical weight, even if it loses some lyrical beauty.
