Description

The Sanskrit Mahabharata, which contains the Bhagavad Gita, stands as one of world literature's most significant yet overlooked classics, offering profound relevance to contemporary global challenges. This chronological survey examines the central royal patriline of the Sanskrit Mahabharata - a genealogical framework that functions as both family tree and kingship record. Brodbeck investigates how patrilineal succession operated within the royal culture depicted in the text, revealing the tension between patrilineal inheritance systems and the inescapable reality that every generation requires a wife's involvement in succession. The work bridges gender studies, cultural analysis, and literary scholarship, demonstrating how the Mahabharata's treatment of family, power, and heredity speaks to enduring questions about social organisation, authority, and human relationships in hierarchical societies.

Key Features

The Mahabharata Patriline provides a chronological exploration of the Sanskrit epic's royal family tree and succession patterns.

This Routledge publication examines how patrilineal maintenance functioned within the royal culture depicted in the ancient text.

The work integrates gender analysis with literary interpretation, showing how female participation shaped patrilineal inheritance across generations.

Brodbeck's study connects classical Sanskrit literature to contemporary anthropological and sociological concerns about kinship and power structures.
