The Mahābhārata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Rāmāyaṇa. It narrates the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra  and the fates of the Kaurava and the Pāṇḍava princes and their successors.

The Mahābhārata is the longest epic poem known and has been described as "the longest poem ever written". Its longest version consists of over 100,000 śloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet), and long prose passages. At about 1.8 million words in total, the Mahābhārata is roughly about four times the length of the Rāmāyaṇa. Within the Indian tradition it is sometimes called the fifth Veda.

Arjuna, also known as Partha and Dhananjaya, is the main protagonist of the Indian epic Mahabharata and also appears in other ancient Hindu texts including the Bhagavata Purana. In the epic, he is the third among Pandavas, the five sons of Pandu. The family formed part of the royal line of the Kuru Kingdom. In the Mahabharata , Arjuna was a key rior from the Pandava side and slew many riors including his nemesis, Karna. Before the beginning of the , his mentor, Krishna, taught him the knowledge of Bhagavad Gita.
