The English translation has been available since at least 1700 A.D. But Marshy's purport is pure Marshy, no doubt about that. I don't think the Marshy needed any help explaining how TM works - he didn't seem to be at a loss for words when I was visiting him. If you read the purport, you'll see that Marshy is saying the same thing over and over, since at least 1954. But if you read other BG commentaries, there's no TM mentioned in them at all. So, in that respect, Marshy's BG is unique.
