Sanskrit `great poem of the Bharatas'.
Sanskrit Hindu epic consisting of 18 books
probably composed in its present form about
300 BC. It forms with the Ramayana the two
great epics of the Hindus. It deals with the
fortunes of the rival families of the
Kauravas and the Pandavas, and contains the
Bhagavad-Gita, or Song of the Blessed, an
episode in the sixth book.
