Description

Explore the deep connections between Indian mythology and the concept of gleaning in this scholarly work from the Routledge Hindu Studies Series. Nonviolence in the Mahabharata: Siva's Summa on Rishidharma and the Gleaners of Kurukshetra provides an academic look at how poets constructed the great epics. By examining the Mah bh rata and R m ya a, this text investigates the practice of gleaning as it relates to forest life rather than urban or village settings. The author uses gleaning as a metaphor to explain the artistic process of the Mah bh rata poets. It looks at how these creators gathered useful elements from various preexistent oral and written texts to form the massive scope of Vy sa's thought. This book is an essential resource for those studying Hindu philosophy, ancient Indian literature, and the development of mythological narratives.
