The "Mahabharata" tells the narrative of the Kurukshetra War and
the fates of the Kaurava and the Pandava princes who are part of
it. Along with the "Ramayana" it is one of two Sanskrit epics of
ancient India. The authorship of the work is generally attributed
to Vyasa, who is also a major character in the epic. Intermixed
within the descriptions of conflict between the warring factions of
this epic are numerous philosophical digressions and discussions of
Hinduism. One of the more famous of these digressions is the
"Bhagavad-Gita," a battlefield conversation between Pandava prince
Arjuna and his guide Lord Krishna on a variety of theological and
philosophical issues. Also included within the "Mahabharata" are
the story of "Damayanti" and "Rishyasringa," often considered as
works in their own right. This sweeping epic, the longest every
written in Sanskrit, is widely considered as one of the most
important works to ever be authored in any language. This four
volume edition collects together the complete epic in a translation
by Kisari Mohan Ganguli. Here we have the second volume which
includes books four through seven.
