Critical Studies In The Mahabharata

Critical Studies in the Mahabharata by V. S. Sukthankar and P. K. Gode is a two-volume scholarly work that explores the textual, historical, and philological dimensions of the Mahabharata. Sukthankar, the chief architect of the Critical Edition, presents rigorous analyses on the epic’s composition, structure, and transmission. Gode complements this with essays on epigraphy, manuscript traditions, and language evolution. Together, the volumes offer foundational insights into the Mahabharata's authenticity, making them essential for serious students of Indian epic literature and textual criticism.
