Bowles. 330 $aThe ?paddharmaparvan, 'the book on conduct in times of distress', is an important section of the great Sanskrit epic the Mah?bh?rata which, despite its significance for Mah?bh?rata studies and for the history of Indian social and political thought, has received little attention in scholarly literature. This book places the ?paddharmaparvan within its literary and ideological contexts. In so doing it explores the development of a conception of brahmanic kingship morally justifiable within the terms of a debate largely set by various alternative social movements of the period. This book further explores the implications for our understanding of the Mah?bh?rata that follow from the ?paddharmaparvan's presentation as a poetically cohesive unit within itself and within the wider parameters of the Mah?bh?rata. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 28. 606 $aKings and rulers$xMoral and ethical aspects$zIndia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKings and rulers$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a294.5/923046 700 $aBowles$b Adam$0859986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453605903321 996 $aDharma, disorder, and the political in ancient India$91918974 997 $aUNINA
