About the author

Experience a pivotal period of the Mahabharata through the epic translation by Kisari Mohan Ganguli, proudly part of Project Gutenberg. This work delves into the Pandavas in disguise during their critical thirteenth year exile. Readers will journey to the City of Virata, witnessing the challenges of a disguise period as the Pandavas undiscovered live under new names: Kanka (Yudhishthira), Vallava (Bhima), Arjuna as Vrihannala, Granthika (Nakula), and Tantripala (Sahadeva). The narrative intensely covers Draupadi disguise as Sairindhri and her harrowing Draupadi harassment by Kichaka. Follow the dramatic events as Bhima kills Kichaka, detailing the intense confrontation leading to Kichaka death and a vital Draupadi Kichaka rescue. The text also portrays the escalating conflict, including the Kaurava attack on the Virata kingdom raid, focusing on the Cattle raid and subsequent Kine rescue. Central to the action is the Battle of Virata, highlighting Arjuna battle prowess wielding the formidable Gandiva bow with Uttara as charioteer, displaying the power of the Ape banner and Devadatta conch. Key moments include Arjuna defeats Karna, Arjuna defeats Kripa, and the capture of Susarman captured by Bhima following the rescue where Bhima rescues Virata. The story touches on the strategic discussions among figures like Duryodhana, Bhishma, Drona, and Kripa, the importance of weapons in Sami tree, war strategy, and the constant threat of spies. Ganguli's work brings to life this ancient Indian text, exploring themes of exile period, Kshatriya duty, life in a Royal household, and various displays of martial prowess, all drawn directly from the rich narrative of the epic.
