To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The date 3102, I need hardly remark, is of no historical value, being based merely upon the theories of comparatively late astronomers ; but the statement as a whole is important. The Great War marks an epoch. It came at the end of what may be called the prehistoric period, and was followed by a new age. To be strictly correct, we must say that the age which followed the Great War was not new in the sense that it in- troduced any startling novelties that had been unknown previously ; but it was... new in the sense that after the Great War India speedily became the India that we know from historical THE MAHABHARATA 71 records. A certain fusion of different races, cultures, and ideals had to take place in order that the peculiar civiUsation of India might unfold itseK ; and this fusion was accomplished about the time of the Great War, and partly no doubt by means of the Great War, some ten centuries before the Christian era. The story of the Great War is told with a wild profusion of mythical and legendary colouring in the Mahabharata, an epic the name of which means literally " The Great Tale of the Bharata Clan.
