The Mahābhārata is one of the two major epics of India, the other being Ramāyaṇa. It is revered as a Smṛti text in Hinduism. The Mahābhārata narrates the events in the lives of two sets of cousins, the Pānḍavas and Kauravas and is divided into 18 parvans. The current mss. contains 5 parvans: Karṇaparvan (2a), Śalyaparva (1b1), Śāntiparvan (140b1), Aiṣīkaparvan (162b1) (In the manuscript, the parvas are not in sequence, and the Aiṣīkaparvan is a sub-parvan within the Sauptikaparvan.) Strīparvan (173b1). Some folios are damaged and missing. (See Matsunami's notebook 22, p. 24)
