    "The Kiratarjuniya is the earlist literary treatment of the narrative of the Pandava hero Arjuna's combat with the great god Siva, a seminal episode in the war epic Mahabharata. Through a close analysis of the structural strategies of Bharavi's poem, the author illuminates the aesthetic of the mahakavya genre. Peterson demonstrates that the classical poet uses figurative language, rhetorical devices, and structural design as the primary instruments for advancing his argument, the reconciliation of heroic action, ascetic self-control, social duty, and devotion to God. Her discussion of the Kiratarjuniya in relation to its historical setting and to rendering of this epic episode in literary texts and temple sculpture of later periods reveals the existence of complex transactions in Indian civilization between the discourses of heroic epic and court poetry, political ideologies and devotional religion, Sanskrit and the regional languages, and classical and folk traditions. Selections from the Kiratarjuniya are presented in poetic translation."--Jacket Machine generated contents note:1.Introduction: The Study of the Sanskrit Court Epic --2.Poetics of the Mahakavya --3.Setting and Structure of the Kiratarjuniya --4.Prelude to Action: Epic Speech in Bharavi's Poem --5.Debate between the Brothers: Logic, Rhetoric, and Politics in the Court Epic --6.Landscapes with Women: Bharavi's Descriptive Art --7.Conundrum of the Warrio-Ascetic --8.Theater of Combat --9.Wrestling with God: Rasa and Bhakti in the Kiratarjuniya --Note on the Translation Selections --App.A Draupadi Rebukes Yudhisthira: Kir.
