Translation is a complex literary and cultural activity that involves transferring meaning, emotion, style, and context from one language to another. The process becomes especially difficult when the source text is deeply rooted in a specific culture, mythology, and linguistic tradition. Dharamvir Bharati's *Andha Yug*, a landmark Hindi verse play based on the aftermath of the *Mahabharata* war, presents numerous challenges to translators because of its poetic language, symbolic richness, philosophical depth, and cultural references. Translating *Andha Yug* requires not only linguistic competence but also a profound understanding of Indian history, mythology, religion, and literary aesthetics. One of the major problems of translating *Andha Yug* is preserving its poetic language. The play is written in highly lyrical and metaphorical Hindi, where rhythm, repetition, and imagery contribute significantly to its emotional impact. Literal translation often fails to reproduce the beauty and intensity of the original verses. For instance, expressions describing the darkness surrounding Hastinapur carry symbolic meanings of moral decay, despair, and spiritual blindness. Translating such passages word for word may communicate the surface meaning but fail to evoke the same emotional resonance in the target language. Another significant problem is the translation of cultural references. *Andha Yug* is deeply embedded in the Indian epic tradition, particularly the *Mahabharata*. Characters such as Krishna, Ashwatthama, Gandhari, Dhritarashtra, and Yuyutsu are not merely fictional figures but cultural symbols carrying centuries of religious, philosophical, and historical significance.
