| Abstract: | 'Krishna's Mahabharatas' is a comprehensive study of premodern regional Mahabharata retellings. This book argues that Vaishnavas (devotees of the Hindu god Vishnu and his various forms) throughout South Asia turned this epic about an apocalyptic, bloody war into works of ardent bhakti or 'devotion' focused on the beloved Hindu deity Krishna. Examining over 40 retellings in 11 different regional South Asian languages composed over a period of 900 years, it focuses on two particular Mahabharatas: Villiputturar's 15th-century Tamil Paratam and Sabalsingh Chauhan's seventeenth-century Bhasha (Old Hindi) Mahahbharat. Through close comparative readings, this book reveals the similar ways poets from opposite ends of the Indian sub-continent transform the story of the Sanskrit Mahabharata into devotional narratives centered on Krishna. |
