This manuscript is an adaptation of the Mahabharata, narrating the great war between the Pandawa and the Kurawa. The opening section features a preface by the author, explaining that the text has been adjusted to suit the context of its time. He notes that the purpose of this work is not to rival the literary achievements of the past, as each person has their own way of understanding. Therefore, the author sees no need to elaborate beyond the content itself and instead invites readers to engage directly with the text. The core of the manuscript presents the great battle, depicted through the metaphor of gathering storm clouds and a looming tempest—symbolizing the rising tension before the epic war. This section marks the beginning of the fourth episode, recounting three major events that are woven together into a concise narrative. Among them is the story of Bhima and his son, Gathutkaca, a giant figure who later plays a crucial role in supporting the Pandawa during battle. Although incomplete, the final part of the manuscript tells of Dewi Drupadi sending an emissary to seek counsel and blessings from the elders before the war begins. This fragment follows a portrayal of Arjuna’s exceptional prowess as a warrior, though unfortunately, the text breaks off before the episode is concluded.
