PDF Warsaw Pact Uniforms Ranks =: Uniformi E Distintivi del Patto Di Varsavia by Giorgio Cantelli in History

Description

The Āpaddharmaparvan; 'the book on conduct in times of distress'; is an important section of the great Sanskrit epic the Mahābhārata which; despite its significance for Mahābhārata studies and for the history of Indian social and political thought; has received little attention in scholarly literature. This book places the Āpaddharmaparvan within its literary and ideological contexts. In so doing it explores the development of a conception of brahmanic kingship morally justifiable within the terms of a debate largely set by various alternative social movements of the period. This book further explores the implications for our understanding of the Mahābhārata that follow from the Āpaddharmaparvan's presentation as a poetically cohesive unit within itself and within the wider parameters of the Mahābhārata.
