History, and Human Sciences at The George Washington University, articulates a compelling new approach to the epic: as a

for the volume.This two volume edition collects nearly three decades of Alf Hiltebeitels researches into the Indian epic
and religious tradition. The two volumes document Hiltebeitels longstanding fascination with the Sanskrit epics: volume
