The Mahabharata, the youngest of the epics of growth, surpasses its predecessors in its huge mass and poses problems to the readers to be as enigmatic as riddles, e.g. the birth of human babies in the womb of a fish, the birth of a hundred and one Kuru children out of a hard lump of flesh and that of Drupada's son and daughter in the flaming fire of sacrifice. In The Magnificence of the Mahabharata the text has been interpreted in a way hitherto unknown to critics and scholars. The readers may experience the same by going through the
book.
