It is included in the ancient Indian Mahabharata epic at one of its most dramatic moments - that is, when the final battle is about to begin. In contrast to many other studies, this book deals with the relationship between the Bhagavadgita and its epic contexts. On the basis of a thorough analysis of the text, Angelika Malinar argues that its theology not only delineates new philosophical concepts and religious practices but also addresses the problem of righteous kingship and appropriate use of power. Malinar concludes by considering the Bhagavadgita's historical and cultural contexts and those features of the text that became paradigmatic in later Hindu religious traditions."--BOOK JACKET. 000718110 63000 $$aBhagavadgītā$$xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 000718110 650_0 $$aHinduism$$xDoctrines. 000718110 85200 $$bgen$$hBL1138.66$$i.M348$$i2007 000718110 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718110$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718110 980__ $$aBIB 000718110 980__ $$aBOOK
