MAHĀBHĀRATATHE ETERNAL EPIC
THE TEXT BEHIND THE THREADS

Sources & tradition

The Mahabharata has many tellings.
A careful exploration makes its own basis visible.

The source tradition

This collection follows Kisari Mohan Ganguli’s English translation (published 1883–1896), a public-domain translation of a pre-critical-edition text. Summaries are original paraphrases of the cited passages. They describe this narrative tradition, rather than establish historical facts.

The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute Critical Edition is a future editorial reference. This release has not been collated against it and makes no claim of Critical Edition verification. Ganguli’s section numbers must not be treated as Critical Edition chapter numbers.

How to read the genealogy

Solid gold lines indicate birth parentage. Crimson lines indicate marriage. Blue dashed lines indicate divine parentage; green dashed lines indicate foster or adoptive parentage. Gold dotted lines indicate dynastic affiliation. Gray lines indicate an explicitly recorded sibling relationship. Teacher, cooperation, rivalry, vow, and curse connections have their own filters and explanatory notes; these do not imply kinship or a permanent military side.

Niyoga preserves a dynastic line while the account names a different birth father. Children emerging from Drupada’s sacrifice use an explained dynastic connection. The Ashvins are a collective entry for two deities.

What the map leaves open

This is a curated selection, not a complete genealogy. Many spouses, children, ancestors, and collateral lines are omitted. Graph placement arranges the reading experience and does not assign dates. House colors organize the map; they are not claims about wartime allegiance.

A traced route is a shortest connection within the selected map and enabled relationship types. It is not a proof of biological descent or a named kinship category. Traces can pass through marriages and divine connections.

Editorial care

Each passage below records its own check date. “Source checked” means the displayed summary or connection was compared with the linked translation passage. It does not mean scholarly peer review or agreement across all traditions.

Unnamed people remain unnamed. Variant and uncertainty records are displayed in the coverage register; differing genealogical recitals await resolution. The landscape is AI-generated symbolic artwork, not textual or archaeological evidence.
