《摩诃婆罗多》（包括《哈里万》）和《罗摩衍那》，这两部对整个印度文化至关重要的伟大梵文史诗，构成了这部新作品的主题。这本书首先考察了史诗与吠陀的关系以及创作它们的吟游诗人的角色。这部作品的核心是研究史诗的语言和文体特征，然后才是对物质文化、社会、经济和政治方面以及宗教方面的考察。最后一章提出了更广泛的图片，并在结论中甚至展望了未来的史诗研究。在这一迟来的调查工作中，作者综合了该领域以前的学术成果。在此，我们对这两部中心史诗的性质和意义，以及它们与整个印度文化的关系，建立了一个连贯的观点。
Mahabharata (including Harivam sa) and Ramayan a, the two great Sanskrit Epics central to the whole of Indian Culture, form the subject of this new work. The book begins by examining the relationship of the epics to the Vedas and the role of the bards who produced them. The core of the work, a study of the linguistic and stylistic features of the epics, precedes the examination of the material culture, the social, economic and political aspects, and the religious aspects. The final chapter presents the wider picture and in conclusion even looks into the future of epic studies. In this long overdue survey work the author synthesizes the results of previous scholarship in the field. Herewith a coherent view is built up of the nature and the significance of these two central epics, both in themselves, and in relation to Indian culture as a whole.
