Ebook: Mahabharata Book Nine: Shalya, Volume Two (Clay Sanskrit Library- Mahabharata)

In one of the most famous passages in Maha·bh?rata, Dur·y?dhana, the heroic but flawed king of the K?uravas, meets his end when he is dishonorably defeated in battle by his arch-enemy, Bhima. Framing a fascinating account of the sacred sites along the river Sar?svati, the duel poignantly portrays the downfall of a once great hero in the face of a new order governed by Krishna, in which the warrior code is brushed aside in order to ensure the predestined triumph of the P?ndavas.Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC FoundationFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http://www.claysanskritlibrary.org
