Mahabharata Book Six September 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Though there are English condensations of the Mahabharata (William Buck's is good), this series seems to be the only full-length English version accessible to and usable by general readers. It is being produced by and for scholars, with Sanskrit transliteration on each facing page, but the apparatus is helpful even for nonspecialists.
This volume is especially valuable as containing the Bhagavad Gita, often published separately but here appearing in its original dramatic and mythic context.
