What is the relation between this text's ideas of salvation and its main character King Yudhiṣṭhira? This book shows that Yudhiṣṭhira serves as a medium for the organization of diverse soteriological ideas. Examining this character's narrative trajectory of struggles and redemptions, this book shows he is intimately associated with \u003ci\u003emokṣa\u003c\/i\u003e (liberation from rebirth). Importantly, Yudhiṣṭhira serves to redefine \u003ci\u003emokṣa\u003c\/i\u003e as selfless action performed as part of a person's inherited duty (\u003ci\u003esvadharma\u003c\/i\u003e), action done for the sake of \u003ci\u003edharma\u003c\/i\u003e alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889951981719,"sku":"9789004749504","price":13939.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004749504.webp?v=1781178322","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/yudhi-7779-7789-hira-salvation-and-selfless-action-in-the-sanskrit-mah-257-bh-257-rata-9789004749504","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
