The Mahabharata is one of the two great epics of ancient India and one of the longest literary works ever composed. This first volume covers the Adi Parva, Sabha Parva, and Vana Parva — introducing the Pandava and Kaurava dynasties, the fateful dice game that strips the Pandavas of their kingdom, and their long forest exile. It is myth, philosophy, history, and moral instruction woven into a single vast narrative.
Containing the Bhagavad Gita within its later books, the Mahabharata is essential reading for anyone interested in Hindu mythology and Indian civilisation. This free EPUB of Volume 1 is cleanly formatted and ready for any device.
