âBhishma,â the sixth book of the eighteen-book epic The Mahaâ¢bhárata, narrates the first ten days of the great war between the Káuravas and the Pándavas. This first volume covers four days from the beginning of the great battle and includes the famous âBhágavadâ¢gita (âThe Song of the Lordâ), presented here within its original epic context. In this âbibleâ of Indian civilization the charioteer Krishna empowers his disciple Ãrjuna to resolve his personal dilemma: whether to follow his righteous duty as a warrior and slay his opponent relatives in the just battle, or to abstain from fighting and renounce the warrior code to which he is born. âBhishma,â the sixth book of the eighteen-book epic The Mahaâ¢bhárata, narrates the first ten days of the great war between the Káuravas and the Pándavas.
