This text containing one lakh verses has been translated into Nepali language and brought to the market in prose style.

This book published in four parts has been translated by Roshan Dahal. Pushparaj Paudel, publisher of Shikha Books, said that since the translation is in a narrative style, this book is readable even for readers who want to study the Mahabharata but do not understand the meaning of the verses.
