Chapter contains the famous debate between Ashtavakra and Bandi. You could read that adhyaya again and again, such is the cascading crescendo of the debate between the learned sage and the twelve-year old Ashtavakra.

Books on Mahabharata

There is a considerable amount of space devoted to Bhima's travels towards the Gandhamadana mountains and his meeting with his half-brother, Hanuman. It is only in chapter that we see Arjuna return after completing his stay in the heavens. Ajgara Parva is somewhat similar to Araneya parva.

In both, it is Yudhishtra's knowledge of dharma that saves his brothers.

One can also interpret these parvas in different manner. While it was Yudhishtra's love of gambling that saw him lose his kingdom, his brothers, and his wife, in gambling to Shakuni, it is recently acquired knowledge from the sages in the forest that sees him redeeming himself and saving his brothers. From the Ajgara Parva, there are a few lines that bear repeating, if only to highlight what Yudhishtra has to say about who is learned and who is not; in other words, who is a brahman and who is not.

Yudhishtra replied, "If these traits, not even found in a brahmana, are seen in a shudra, he is not a shudra. A brahmana in whom a brahmana's traits are not found, is a shudra. Putting it in even simpler words, one is noble or not based on actions. Karma is prime; birth is not.

Between non-violence and good conduct, which is superior and which is inferior" 'The serpent replied, "The superiority or inferiority of generosity versus truthfulness or non-violence vis-a-vis good conduct is determined by whether the effects of these deeds are more or less important. This parva, Ajgara Parva, is profound in itself and bears resemblance to some of the principal Upanishads themselves. There is yet another fascinating episode, where the sage Markandeya, tells the Pandavas the story of the sage Koushika, who, on being berated by the wife of a householder as not being conversant with the true meaning of dharma, left for the city of Mithila, where a hunter, who bought and sold meat, enlightens the sage on dharma.

Yet another reminder of how it is our deeds that define who we are, and not where we are or how we were born. There is an passage where the hunter tries to disabuse sage Koushika of the notions of ahimsa violence by saying: But it has been said that there is great violence in this. Ploughing kills many beings that lie inside the ground and many other hundreds of beings.

O supreme among brahmanas! Beings live on other beings. But in this world, who does not injure living beings? Bibek Debroy, the translator, is an economist with a difference. Well, let's just say different. In the early s, while at the Presidency College in Kolkata, the author wrote a paper where he did a "statistical test on the frequency with which the five Pandavas used various weapons in the Kurukshetra war. While his interest in the Mahabharata "remained, I got sidetracked into translating.

Through the s, there were abdridged translations of the Maha Puranas, the Vedas and the eleven major Upanishads. The entire series is expected to run into ten volumes, and so far, at the time of my writing this review of the third volume, four volumes have been released, with each volume appearing roughly every six months, the most recent one, Vol.
