About
"The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, Volume 2" by Kisari Mohan Ganguli is an ancient Indian epic written in the late 19th century. This monumental work is a historical narrative that weaves together elements of philosophy, ethics, and mythology surrounding the life and struggles of the Pandavas and Kauravas, two royal families at the heart of the story. In this volume, the focus shifts to the "Virata Parva," which recounts the events of the Pandavas during their thirteenth year of exile, a year spent in disguise to avoid detection by their enemies. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the Pandavas' experiences in the kingdom of Virata as they attempt to navigate their new lives undercover. It begins with Janamejaya inquiring about the challenges faced by the Pandavas while hiding and highlights their planned disguises and roles: Yudhishthira as a Brahmana, Bhima as a cook, Arjuna as a transgender dance teacher, Nakula as a horse keeper, and Sahadeva as a cowherd.
