The P. Lal transcreation of the complete epic text in 18 volumes comprising the 18 parvas of the maha-kavya — a limited hardback edition.
The sloka-by-sloka transcreation of Vyasa’s epic by P. Lal was completely revised for his reading sessions of the entire maha-kavya in Kolkata. The weekly Sunday readings began in 1999 and continued till 2009. After he passed away in 2010, we requested Dr Pradip Bhattacharya to complete the transcreation project P. Lal had started. The following volumes (17 by Professor P. Lal and 1 by Dr Bhattacharya) are available:
Each volume transcreated by P. Lal was also brought out in a special edition limited to 50 copies and signed by him. Please contact us for the prices of volumes in this edition; some volumes are now out of print.
338 fascicules of the transcreation, which included prefaces and notes, were available earlier at Rs 100 each. These have now been discontinued.
