Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. We must find out how to read our book. Then we shall take up Parva after Parva (volume after volume), picking out the most important parts and stringing them into an orderly story. We shall try to get a clear idea of the whole book – what it is meant to teach, the kind of people whose story is told in it, what they were doing and trying to do, how the Gods helped or hindered them, and the working of the Gods in the events that took place.
