The great epic of Sage Vyasa has been admirably
condensed in this handy book. The thread of the main
story is seen here clearly together with the best portions
of the dialogues and the essence of the discourses.
Indeed, it is Vyasa himself speaking, not the compiler.
 
The text in Devanagari is accompanied by an eminently
readable English Translation, which has striven to
preserve the spirit of the original.
 
Natesan's Mahabharata is indispensable both to those
to whom the Sanskrit original is inaccessible and to those
who want the thread of the main story, unburdened by
the big digressions.
 
A fitting companion volume to Natesan's " Ramayana",
