The Mahabharata is one of the greatest stories ever told. Though
the basic plot is widely known, there is much more to the epic than
the dispute between Kouravas and Pandavas that led to the battle in
Kurukshetra. It has innumerable sub-plots that accommodate
fascinating meanderings and digressions, and it has rarely been
translated in full, given its formidable length of 80,000 shlokas
or couplets. This magnificent 10-volume unabridged translation of
the epic is based on the Critical Edition compiled at the
Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. The final volume ends the
instructions of the Anushasana Parva. The horse sacrifice is held,
and Dhritarashtra, Gandhari, Kunti, Vidura and Sanjaya leave for
the forest. Krishna and Balarama die as the Yadavas fight among
themselves. The Pandavas leave on the great journey with the famous
companion-Dharma disguised as a dog. Refusing to abandon the dog,
Yudhishthira goes to heaven in his physical body and sees all the
Kurus and the Pandavas are already there. Every conceivable human
emotion figures in the Mahabharata, the reason why the epic
continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this lucid, nuanced
and confident translation, Bibek Debroy makes the Mahabharata
marvellously accessible to contemporary readers.
