About this Item

8vo 254pp. from front flap: "The Mahabharata is admittedly the longest, and perhaps the greatest, epic poem in any language. According to its reputed author, it was intended to be a treatise on life itself, embracing religion and ethics, polity and government, philosophy and the pursuit of salvation. The shortest recension of the Sanskrit version consists of some 88,000 verses. The main narrative, however, is the story of the rivalry between the cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, which culminates in the great battle of Kuruksetra. Chakravarthi V. Narasimhan here presents a prose translation of the verses dealing with this teme." #02017. Book VG: mild soiling to boards, toning and offset to endpapers, text clean binding tight. DJ G: edge wear and chipping, age toning, clipped. Seller Inventory # 1955
