In 1989, Peter Brooks did a film version of the Mahabharata. It came
with a booklet that listed the main characters (the Pandavas, the
Kuravas, the main gods) and who they were. Unfortuneately I have lost
the booklet I am going to show the film
to my Non Western Lit class and would love to give them the list of
characters to help them keep track of the story. Is there anyplace I
could look for a listof main characters of the Mahabharata? We are
also using Wm Buck's translation of the Mahabharata, but it doesn't
include a list of characters. aleadbet@mesastate.edu
