ABSTRACT

In contemporary times, several versions of the Mahabharata are available. The key text of the source Mahabharata originated in between the eighth and ninth centuries bce and reached its final shape in the fourth century c.e. during the Gupta Period. The political visionary Krsna is performing as the theatrical hero, the scheme manufacturer, the theorist who visualizes an enormous stage of the individual participation, the family, groups as well as head of the clan and kings have their oriental liberty in the whole epochs of the Mahabharata. The 67th chapter of Santiparva explores the origin of the state on the grounds that when irreverence triumphs in the world, ‘men cannot possess and encompass their own wives, animals, fields and houses’. Perhaps our political thought school has not provided much room for political ideas from the Mahabharata due to some issues in the constructive conclusion of the great epic and the different interpretations in several versions of the epic.
