About Carole Satyamurti?s translation?Carole Satyamurti?s version of the Mahabharata moves swiftly and powerfully. She has found a voice that?s capable of a wide variety of expression, and a line―basically classical English blank verse with a jazz-like freedom to swing―that propels the reader effortlessly onward through the cosmic, terrifying, erotic, sublime events of this extraordinary work. I think I shall never get tired of it. ―PHILIP PULLMAN, author of The Golden Compass
