The MahÄbhÄrata is an epic legendary narrative of the KurukáčŁetra War and the fates of the Kaurava and the PÄáčážava princes. It also contains philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or puruáčŁÄrtha (12.161). Among the principal works and stories in the MahÄbhÄrata are the Bhagavad Gita, the story of Damayanti, an abbreviated version of the RÄmÄyaáča, and the story of áčáčŁyasringa, often considered as works in their own right.
