Bowles -- Bibliography /A. Bowles -- Index /A. Bowles.The Āpaddharmaparvan, 'the book on conduct in times of distress', is an important section of the great Sanskrit epic the Mahābhārata which, despite its significance for Mahābhārata studies and for the history of Indian social and political thought, has received little attention in scholarly literature. This book places the Āpaddharmaparvan within its literary and ideological contexts. In so doing it explores the development of a conception of brahmanic kingship morally justifiable within the terms of a debate largely set by various alternative social movements of the period. This book further explores the implications for our understanding of the Mahābhārata that follow from the Āpaddharmaparvan's presentation as a poetically cohesive unit within itself and within the wider parameters of the Mahābhārata.Brill's Indological library ;v. 28.Kings and rulersMoral and ethical aspectsIndiaElectronic books.Kings and rulersMoral and ethical aspects294.5/923046Bowles Adam859986MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453605903321Dharma, disorder, and the political in ancient India1918974UNINA
