Arguing that the combination of structural and thematic features which have helped to establish the enduring cultural centrality of religious narrative in South Asia, this book presents the Mahabharata¿s complex orientation to the cosmic, social and textual past. It highlights the contexts of origin and transmission and the cultural function of the Mahabharata in first millennium South Asia and, by extension, in medieval and modern South Asia.
