The Great War at Kurukshetra\n is over. Eighteen lakh men have died. But the winners are not happy.\n Yudhishthira and his\n brothers are gripped with sorrow over what they have done. Who will bear\n the child to continue the Kuru clan? Uttara?\n Will Asvatthama also destroy the child that she is carrying?\n \n Hastinapur is barren of men of any age. It is the King’s dharma to help\n every virgin in the kingdom, cross into womanhood.\n But Yudhishthira fails. There is now a dharmic crisis. The young woman, who\n will bear the child, must be found another\n king for the task before sunrise. Else, the kingdom will suffer even\n more.\n \n Who can solve the problem?\n \n Krishna, who else! Or rather he knows such a king who can. It is\n Maya.\n \n But Maya declines to follow the king’s dharma. His refusal plunges the Kuru\n kingdom, and even Krishna himself, into\n another crisis.\n \n Who is Maya? Can Krishna eventually win him over?\n \n Mayabharata is a fascinating narration of the post-Mahabharata story, aided\n by the deployment of the author’s imaginative\n and creative powers.
