v1.c9.9
The Hastināpura archaeological evidence (chapter 13) shows that the material splendour described in the epic Mahābhārata could not correspond to 1200 BC Hastināpura. Further discussion in chapter 6 of Volume II shows that the epic was expanded in several stages, the material grandeur described in the epic corresponding to the later Historical Period.
