Book Summary

The Serpent’s Revenge: Unusual Tales from the Mahabharata by Sudha Murty is a captivating collection of lesser-known stories from the Mahabharata, India's greatest epic. In this book, Murty delves into intriguing narratives that unfold before, during, and after the Kurukshetra war. These tales, often overshadowed by the central narrative, offer fresh perspectives on familiar characters and events. For instance, the book explores the multiple names of Arjuna and the reasons behind them, the curse of Yama, and the poignant lesson imparted by a humble mongoose to Yudhishthira.
