Description

Explore the complexities of ancient Indian social and political thought with this scholarly study of the Apaddharmaparvan. Part of the Brill's Indological Library, this work provides a deep analysis of the section within the context of the great Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata. Adam J. Bowles examines how the didacticism of the Apaddharmaparvan relates to the broader literary landscape of the Mahabharata. By situating this text within its historical and philosophical framework, the book offers a clear understanding of the relationship between dharma and political disorder. This volume is an essential resource for academic research and institutional libraries. It serves as a serious investigation into the social structures and political theories found in ancient Indian literature, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on Indology or historical studies.
