Actually, the Mahabharata Archives Mansion has this post, which gives you some online sources on where to look. You can read the Mahabharata from the link there, as well as Shrimad Bhagvatam. I used to read the ACKs when I was a kid, and after growing up, once I discovered the online originals, I'd compare the ACKs against that. The ACKs are remarkably accurate, in sharp contrast to movies & TV serials. 🤔

I can suggest one excellent book
Mritunjaya by Shivaji Sawant
Old book, but good read. It is written from Karna's viewpoint.

Please do not refer to these books as Mythology.

They are not Myths to people who believe these stories. Myths suggest you are calling them made up stories. 😊

Sabhayata, it's alright. I think people are just used to calling these mythologies! Even I used to say so years ago, but I think if we call it mythology then it is just saying it is all pretend.

I am going to read The Palace of Illusions.
