The narrative centers on the epic Kurukshetra War, detailing the destinies of the Kaurava and Pandava princes. Authored by Vyasa, who is also a character, it features philosophical discussions intertwined with the conflict, notably the "Bhagavad-Gita," a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna addressing profound theological issues. This extensive work, the longest Sanskrit epic, encompasses additional stories like "Damayanti" and "Rishyasringa." This edition presents the complete epic in translation, with this volume covering books eight through twelve.
