Hiltebeitel shows how the Mah?bh?rata has more than lived up to this promise at least on the ground in Indian folk traditions. In this three-part volume, he journeys over the overlapping terrains of the south Indian cults of Draupad? (part I) and K?tt???avar (part II), to explore how the Mah?bh?rata continues to be such a vital source of meaning, and, in part III, then connects this vital tradition to wider reflections on prehistory, sacrifice, myth, oral epic, and modern theatre. This two volume edition collects nearly three decades of Alf Hiltebeitel?s researches into the Indian epic and religious tradition. The two volumes document Hiltebeitel?s longstanding fascination with the Sanskrit epics: volume 1 presents a series of appreciative readings of the Mah?bh?rata (and to a lesser extent, the R?m?ya?a), while volume 2 focuses on what Hiltebeitel has called ?the underground Mah?bh?rata,? id est, the Mah?bh?rata as it is still alive in folk and vernacular traditions. Recently re-edited and with a new set of articles completing a trajectory Hiltebeitel established over 30 years ago, this work constitutes a definitive statement from this major scholar. Comprehensive indices, cross-referencing, and an exhaustive bibliography make it an essential reference work.
