A wonderful exposition on Mahābhārata and its narratives by Dr. Vishwa Adluri.

A webinar hosted by the Advaita Academy on Mahābhārata and the Philosophical Hermeneutics of Śankarācārya. Dr. Adluri uses the story of Mandapāla from the Ādi parvam, to demonstrate how in Mahābhārata there is a systematic replacement of the doctrine of putra with the doctrine of purusha, thus making it not a narration of genealogy but a Mokśadharmam text.
