NOTES ON THE MAHABHARATA

Notes on the Mahabharata of Krishna Dvypaiana Vyasa prepared with a view to disengage the original epic of Krishna of the Island from the enlargements, accretions and additions made by Vaishampaiana, Ugrashravas and innumerable other writers.

PROPOSITA

An epic of the Mahabharata was written by Krishna of the Island called Vyasa, in 24,000 couplets or something more, less at any rate than 27,000 on the subject of the great civil war of the Bharatas and the establishment of the Dharmarajya or universal sovereignty in that house.

This epic can be disengaged almost in its entirety from the present form of nearly 100,000 Slokas.
