Mahabharata Plot Synopsis:

In Short:

The core story of the work is that of a dynastic struggle for the throne of Hastinapura, the kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan. The two collateral branches of the family that participate in the struggle are the Kaurava and the Pandava. Although the Kaurava is the senior branch of the family, Duryodhana, the eldest Kaurava, is younger than Yudhisthira, the eldest Pandava. Both Duryodhana and Yudhisthira claim to be first in line to inherit the throne.

The struggle culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra, in which the Pandavas are ultimately victorious. The battle produces complex conflicts of kinship and friendship, instances of family loyalty and duty taking precedence over what is right, as well as the converse.

The Mahabharata itself ends with the death of Krishna, and the subsequent end of his dynasty and ascent of the Pandava brothers to heaven. It also marks the beginning of the Hindu age of Kali Yuga, the fourth and final age of mankind, in which great values and noble ideas have crumbled, and man is heading towards the complete dissolution of right action, morality and virtue.

A bit detailed:

The innermost narrative kernel of the Mahbhrata tells the story of two sets of paternal first cousins"the five sons of the deceased king Pu [pronounced PAAN-doo] (the five Pavas [said as PAAN-da-va-s]) and the one hundred sons of blind King Dhtarra [Dhri-ta-RAASH-tra] (the 100 hundred Dhrtarras [Dhaar-ta-RAASH-tras])"who became bitter rivals, and opposed each other in war for possession of the ancestral Bharata [BHAR-a-ta] kingdom with its capital in the "City of the Elephant," Hstinapura [HAAS-ti-na-pu-ra], on the Gag river in north central India. What is dramatically interesting within this simple opposition is the large number of individual agendas the many characters pursue, and the numerous personal conflicts, ethical puzzles, subplots, and plot twists that give the story a strikingly powerful development.

The five sons of Pu were actually fathered by five Gods (sex was mortally dangerous for Pu, because of a curse) and these heroes were assisted throughout the story by various Gods, seers, and brahmins, including the seer Ka Dvaipyana Vysa [VYAA-sa] (who later became the author of the epic poem telling the whole of this story), who was also their actual grandfather (he had engendered Pu and the blind Dhtarra upon their nominal father's widows in order to preserve the lineage). The one hundred Dhrtarras, on the other hand, had a grotesque, demonic birth, and are said more than once in the text to be human incarnations of the demons who are the perpetual enemies of the Gods. The most dramatic figure of the entire Mahbhrata, however, is Ka, son of Vasudeva of the tribe of Andhaka Vis, located in the city of Dvrak in the far west, near the ocean. His name is, thus Ka Vsudeva [Vaa-su-DAY-va]. But he also a human instantiation of the supreme God Vsudeva-Nryaa-Viu descended to earth in human form to rescue Law, Good Deeds, Right, Virtue and Justice (all of these words refer to different facets of "dharma," the "firm-holding" between the ethical quality of an action and the quality of its future fruits for the doer). Ka Vsudeva was also a cousin to both Bhrata phratries, but he was a friend and advisor to the Pavas, became the brother-in-law of Arjuna [AR-ju-na] Pava, and served as Arjuna's mentor and charioteer in the great war. Ka Vsudeva is portrayed several times as eager to see the purgative war occur, and in many ways the Pavas were his human instruments for fulfilling that end.

The Dhrtarra party behaved viciously and brutally toward the Pavas in many ways, from the time of their early youth onward. Their malice displayed itself most dramatically when they took advantage of the eldest Pava, Yudhihira [Yu-DHISH-thir-a] (who had by now become the universal ruler of the land) in a game of dice: The Dhrtarras 'won' all his brothers, himself, and even the Pavas' common wife Draupad [DRAO-pa-dee] (who was an incarnation of the richness and productivity of the Goddess "Earthly-and-Royal Splendor," r [Shree]); they humiliated all the Pavas and physically abused Draupad; they drove the Pava party into the wilderness for twelve years, and the twelve years had to be followed by the Pavas' living somewhere in society, in disguise, without being discovered, for one more year.

The Pavas fulfilled their part of that bargain, but the villainous leader of the Dhrtarra party, Duryodhana [Dur-YODH-ana], was unwilling to restore the Pavas to their half of the kingdom when the thirteen years had expired. Both sides then called upon their many allies and two large armies arrayed themselves on 'Kuru's Field' (Kuru was one of the eponymous ancestors of the clan), eleven divisions in the army of Duryodhana against seven divisions for Yudhihira. Much of the action in the Mahbhrata is accompanied by discussion and debate among various interested parties, and the most famous sermon of all time, Ka Vsudeva's ethical lecture accompanied by a demonstration of his divinity to his charge Arjuna (the justly famous Bhagavad Gt [BHU-gu-vud GEE-taa]) occurred in the Mahbhrata just prior to the commencement of the hostilities of the war. Several of the important ethical and theological themes of the Mahbhrata are tied together in this sermon, and this "Song of the Blessed One" has exerted much the same sort of powerful and far-reaching influence in Indian Civilization that the New Testament has in Christendom. The Pavas won the eighteen day battle, but it was a victory that deeply troubled all except those who were able to understand things on the divine level (chiefly Ka, Vysa, and Bhma [BHEESH-ma], the Bharata patriarch who was emblematic of the virtues of the era now passing away). The Pavas' five sons by Draupad, as well as Bhmasena [BHEE-ma-SAY-na] Pava's and Arjuna Pava's two sons by two other mothers (respectively, the young warriors Ghaotkaca [Ghat-OT-ka-cha] and Abhimanyu [Uh-bhi-MUN-you ("mun" rhymes with "nun")]), were all tragic victims in the war. Worse perhaps, the Pava victory was won by the Pavas slaying, in succession, four men who were quasi-fathers to them: Bhma, their teacher Droa [DROE-na], Kara [KAR-na] (who was, though none of the Pavas knew it, the first born, pre-marital, son of their mother), and their maternal uncle alya (all four of these men were, in succession, 'supreme commander' of Duryodhana's army during the war). Equally troubling was the fact that the killing of the first three of these 'fathers,' and of some other enemy warriors as well, was accomplished only through 'crooked stratagems' (jihmopyas), most of which were suggested by Ka Vsudeva as absolutely required by the circumstances.

The ethical gaps were not resolved to anyone's satisfaction on the surface of the narrative and the aftermath of the war was dominated by a sense of horror and malaise. Yudhihira alone was terribly troubled, but his sense of the war's wrongfulness persisted to the end of the text, in spite of the fact that everyone else, from his wife to Ka Vsudeva, told him the war was right and good; in spite of the fact that the dying patriarch Bhma lectured him at length on all aspects of the Good Law (the Duties and Responsibilities of Kings, which have rightful violence at their center; the ambiguities of Righteousness in abnormal circumstances; and the absolute perspective of a beatitude that ultimately transcends the oppositions of good versus bad, right versus wrong, pleasant versus unpleasant, etc.); in spite of the fact that he performed a grand Horse Sacrifice as expiation for the putative wrong of the war. These debates and instructions and the account of this Horse Sacrifice are told at some length after the massive and grotesque narrative of the battle; they form a deliberate tale of pacification (praamana, nti) that aims to neutralize the inevitable miasma of the war.

In the years that follow the war Dhtarra and his queen Gndhr [Gaan-DHAAR-ee], and Kunt [Koon-tee], the mother of the Pavas, lived a life of asceticism in a forest retreat and died with yogic calm in a forest fire. Ka Vsudeva and his always unruly clan slaughtered each other in a drunken brawl thirty-six years after the war, and Ka's soul dissolved back into the Supreme God Viu (Ka had been born when a part of Nryaa-Viu took birth in the womb of Ka's mother). When they learned of this, the Pavas believed it time for them to leave this world too and they embarked upon the 'Great Journey,' which involved walking north toward the polar mountain, that is toward the heavenly worlds, until one's body dropped dead. One by one Draupad and the younger Pavas died along the way until Yudhihira was left alone with a dog that had followed him all the way. Yudhihira made it to the gate of heaven and there refused the order to drive the dog back, at which point the dog was revealed to be an incarnate form of the God Dharma (also known as Yama, the Lord of the Dead, the God who was Yudhihira's actual, physical father), who was there to test the quality of Yudhihira's virtue before admitting him to heaven. Once in heaven Yudhihira faced one final test of his virtue: He saw only the Dhrtarras in heaven, and he was told that his brothers were in hell. He insisted on joining his brothers in hell, if that be the case. It was then revealed that they were really in heaven, that this illusion had been one final test for him. So ends the Mahbhrata!
