Mahabharata by Vyasa: The epic of ancient India condensed into English verse

by Romesh C. Dutt

This book is an English verse adaptation of the Mahabharata, one of India's two great epic poems. The original Sanskrit epic, attributed to the sage Vyasa, is a vast and intricate work spanning over 74,000 verses. It tells the story of the great Kurukshetra War, a conflict between two warring families, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. However, the Mahabharata is much more than just a war story. It explores complex themes of dharma (righteousness), artha (purpose), kama (pleasure), and moksha (liberation), offering profound insights into human nature, ethics, and the meaning of life.
