ABOUT THE BOOK:- The Mahabharata is a curious mixture of history and mythology, through the former aspect is the subject of grave doubts in the minds of the professional historians. This is called the fifth Veda and it is universally acknowledge to be of pre eminent importance. It extoles its greatness itself in the following words: yad ihasti tad anyantra yan nehasti na tat kvacit (whatever is here is also elsewhere; whatever is not here is extant nowhere). It contains not only a celebrated Gita but also a large number of other texts which are them selves independent treatise. It is a valuable product of the ancient Indian literature of the Post-Vedic age and seems to go back to the prehistoric stage of the human society.
