"The Sanskrit Mahabharata" (which contains the Bhagavad Gita) is neglected as a classic - perhaps the classic - of world literature, and is of timely importance in today's globalised and war-torn world. This book presents a chronological survey of the "Sanskrit Mahabharata's" central royal patriline - a family tree that is also a list of kings.
Contents: Preface; Part 1 A Royal Patrilineal Model: Analogical deceptions; Wide shots; The Mahabharata patriline; Sraddha in the Mahabharata; Marriage and the heir; The royal hunt. Part 2 The Distant Ancestry: Female links; Yayati; The Paurava stretch; Duhsanta, Sakuntala and the Bharatas; Samvarana; Kuru. Part 3 The Pandavas and their Proximate Ancestry: Samtanu and Bhisma; Dhritarastra and Pandu; The Pandavas. Part 4 Janamejaya and the Sarpasatra: Pariksit; Janamejaya; Conclusion. Appendices; Glossary; Bibliography; Index..
