The classic Kannada version of the Mahabharata, a jewel of world
literature, translated into English. The Mahabharata, a cornerstone
of ancient Indian literature, recounts the rivalry between branches
of a royal family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, culminating in a
cataclysmic war. It has inspired numerous adaptations across
languages and artistic media. The Kannada Mahabharata, known as
Kumāravyāsa Bhārata, is an innovative retelling where Krishna
occupies center stage, composed by the fifteenth-century poet
Kumarayvyasa. His powerful verses critique kingship and caste and
remain popular in musical performances and improvisational folk
theatre today. Volume 1 comprises “The Book of Beginnings” and
“The Book of the Assembly,” including Pandu’s tragic death,
the marriage of the Pandavas to Draupadi, Arjuna’s fiery
destruction of the Khandava forest, the slaying of King Shishupala,
and the dice game plotted by the Kauravas leading to the
Pandavas’s exile. This edition, which abridges the Kannada
classic, presents a new English translation and the most reliable
text of the original in the Kannada script.
