In the Hindu epic, the Mahābhārata, two sets of cousins, the Kauravas and Pandavas, become embroiled in a prolonged and tangled political battle over the rightful rulership of the kingdom of north central India. That conflict eventually culminates in a great war in which political (and familial) loyalties are challenged, old resentments and debts resurface, all types of stratagems are deployed, much blood is shed, and many lives are lost. Long before the war erupts, though, the members of each side of the Kuru clan take every opportunity to turn to the revered teacher and elder Bhishma Pitamaha, for enlightened instruction on the meaning and application of dharma.
