Sarala Das Odia Mahabharat Books

Abcdef26 Sep, 2022Business

In Sarala Das?s Odia version of the Mahabharata , which is the first complete rendition of the epic by a single author in any language other than Sanskrit, Ganga is a wild and tempestuous woman. Born in the world of mortals, she is a dutiful daughter who pines for Shiva. She ends up marrying Shantanu, king of the Kurus, who is a devotee of the lord. Because Shantanu is not her husband by choice, she finds inventive ways of hurting and humiliating him. Vyasa Mahabharata was written in Sanskrit, but Sarala Das composed Dandi Mahabharata in Odia following the oral tradition recurrent in his time. He followed the oral formula for reconstructing the characters and events of the Mahabharata in the context of his cultural landscape and time and created an alternative discourse of the Mahabharata.
