The Mahabharata is the world's longest epic. It contains within it numerous fables, anecdotes and pieces of practical wisdom that make up what we today call Indian culture.
Two thousand tales from this ocean of Vedic literature are now being retold for your reading pleasure. Crisp, comprehensive, contextual.
In Volume 16 you will find stories such as:
- The Burning of Tripura - Karna's Investiture as the Commander - Ashwatthama's Vow - Yudhishthir's Anger at Arjuna - How Karna Keeps his Promise to Kunti
And many more. Whether you're a casual reader of mythology or a die-hard fanatic, this is a must-read.
