The five sons of Pandu, Yudhishthir, Bhima, Arjun and the twins, grow up beside their hundred cousins at the Kuru court, where Duryodhan’s jealousy turns rivalry into exile and finally into a war of annihilation. Romesh Chunder Dutt condenses the vast Sanskrit epic into flowing English couplets, with prose notes on each book from the tournament to the lament of the survivors.
