Stories from the Mahabharata, a new series of Sanskrit textbooks, retells the epic Mahabharata in simple Sanskrit episodes which gradually develop a student's knowledge of grammar. In each chapter a theme which appears in the Sanskrit epics is also discussed. It is suggested that students should have completed the preceding sections of the course, Sanskrit is Fun (Parts 1, 2 and 3), The Stories of Krishna (Part 1 and 2), and The Story of Rama (Parts 1 and 2) before starting these books.
