Where can I buy the book Devdas translated into Hindi?

Looking for a copy of the book Devdas in Hindi - help!
I'm having trouble finding a Hindi translation of the book Devdas by Sharatchandra Chattopadhyay. I can find it in English and Bengali and French; but the only Hindi version I can find seems to be simply a published script from the 2002 movie. In fact, I thought I had found it twice, ordered it, and ended up getting the script each time.
Can anyone help me? I want to buy it, not just get it from a library. Thanks!

(Er, searching for some of those ISBNs leads to product pages for non-Hindi translations, it seems, so be careful.)

Response by poster: I should have mentioned; I can find listings for the book in Worldcat. But I can't find any to buy. It's possible these are out of print.
Thanks though, Sentient!

No problem! Also, the first two links I posted were to places where it seems like you can buy the book; are they not right?

Response by poster: I think the first one is the script (or based on the screenplay). The second one I can't tell - there's not a lot of info there. Thanks again, though :)

Best answer: Are you cool with ordering from India? It's pretty easy to find a Hindi copy here, so I think at least one of these options will be in stock at Flipkart.
Alternatively, order it from the folks on Amazon who are selling it for $13.22.

Just for reference:
Worldcat reveals these ISBNs (10/13)

[Can an ISBN refer to different translations, or are all of these definitely in Hindi?]
How many pages is the script? (The above have ~100 to ~160 pages).
