mahabharata

It's ok - most companies that matter are led by people who have spent more time reading the Mahabharata rather than Plato.

You might be surprised but I’ve actually found German translations of Mahabharata or Tripitaka to be much better then English ones.

In general, the ramayana and the mahabharata are two epics, and thereby occupy a singificant mindshare in popular culture - so you can argue that it is pan-Indian.

It's possible that truly ancient works like the various parts of the Mahabharata genuinely can't be translated at a high enough level of quality - because they actually happened.

Most prominently, she declaims the Gita as a warlike-text, ignoring the clear context of the Mahabharata that war is inevitable in this situation when all attempts at a peaceful resolution have been rebuffed.

I was deeply confused and disturbed, as a growing up child, when I watched the grand old Bheeshma getting riddled with arrows that Arjuna fired from behind Shikhandi in Mahabharata serial.

There is still a lot of Mahabharata that exist in a form that are called srutis (oral tradition: stories, ballads, folk songs, plays) that you wont find in the sanskrit sources.

I already have a corpus of all the documents which are indexed and currently working on a LLM based answer engine that focuses on answering questions from Vedas and Upanishads and Mahabharata (for ex).

To whoever downvoted this: note that I was trying to highlight the logical fallacy in the parent comment, which was using the existence of different versions of the Ramayana to make a sweeping generalization about the Mahabharata without providing proof specific about the latter.

Wendy's summary of Mahabharata was as merely "lawless war" is thus completely false.

South Indian "hindus" dont believe in a lot of texts that the north indian "hindus" do including the mahabharata.

Doniger says that the war was "lawless", but the Mahabharata war was an attempt at a "just" war, as understood in its contemporary context.

As stated in Mahabharata, when Arjun wonders about the futility of his efforts on the battlefields of Kurukshetra, this is what Lord Krishna says to him: "कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥" (You have the right to perform your actions, but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions.

It's like you've written the Mahabharata; it'a a masterpiece and it's one of the greatest epics of all time.

An important character in the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, likely had this condition.

While you are at it, blow your minds and lookup the fact that they gave a measurement of speed of light in Mahabharata.
