Synopsis
This book studies the origins of the epic poem Mahābhārata which is as a collection of religious and socio-political knowledge. The author takes a new approach to the text, arguing that the Mahābhārata was composed with the aim of being both a sacred epic and a didactic work together in a single unified project at the start of its composition, rather than having been developed over time. The book examines the language, religion, socio-political thought, philosophy, and mythology of the Mahābhārata to support this claim, arguing that the integration of sacred epic and didactic work was not accidental, but was essential for the authors of the Mahābhārata and their audiences. This approach to the Mahābhārata opens up new insights into the poem's structure and the ways in which it was composed.
