    Sanskrit Translation of Kurt Vonnegut quote
    Hello,

    Please could someone help me with a translation of "Those who believe they knows Gods plan are fools."

    This is paraphrased from the Book of Bokomon featured in Cats Cradle.

    Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

    Salut,

    Cuff

    Sanskrit is an ancient, religious language similar to Hindi and doesn't do well with tattoo inscriptions. My Indian coworker believes you will not get an accurate translation unless it's from someone who actually knows Sanskrit; otherwise, what you will get will be gibberish. Since no one can read it anyway, perhaps gibberish will be okay?
