This definitive and magnificent 10-volume unabridged translation is one of the rare English translations in full of the epic. Bibek Debroy makes the Mahabharata marvellously accessible to contemporary readers. Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins—the Pandavas and the Kouravas—but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination. In this superb and widely acclaimed translation of the complete Mahabharata, Bibek Debroy takes on a great journey with incredible ease. Classics Customs & Traditions Hinduism Mystery Social Sciences

Typical issues remain as in the earlier parts. Randomly using multiple names of the same characters, confusing the listener.

Further, the “he killed him” kind of dialogues continues here.


The producers have just had the books read, without realising the differences of written texts versus its oral version. In the former, a reader can stop and refer to the indexing or footnotes in the pages.

The performance is sad. Kills the beauty of the content with pathetic pronunciations. Even simple english words are orated wrongly. Totally disaster. So far, only Sumit Kaul has done justice to the hard labour of the author.

Great story murdered in rendering

Mahabharata is a great story and this version is a faithful translation. But the narrator is awful and can’t pronounce basic English words correctly. And then butchers the names.

Horrible narration
