Sinopse  

A narrativa sânscrita é a força vital da cultura indiana, encapsulando e perpetuando percepções e valores centrais para o pensamento e a prática indianos. 

Este volume reúne dezoito dos principais estudiosos de todo o mundo, que, numa colaboração sem precedentes, conferem a estes textos a integridade e a dignidade que merecem. A última vez que isto foi tentado, numa escala muito menor, foi há uma geração, com Purāṇa Perennis (1993). 

Os colaboradores proeminentes desta coleção marcante usam novos métodos e teorias para envolver de forma significativa os textos narrativos em sânscrito, mostrando o estado dos estudos contemporâneos sobre os épicos e purāṇas em sânscrito.
