Scope note
Regarded as the central text of the Hindu religion, the Bhagavad-gītā, written ca. 200 BCE, is comprised of eighteen sections and a total of 700 verses which form part of the epic poem known as the Mahābhārata. The verses describe a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and Lord Krishna, on the eve of a battle between Arjuna and members of his family. It is thought that the text was written at a time when Bhramanical religion had been splintered, with Buddhism and Jainism separated. The Bhagavad-gītā teaches that there may be many ways to salvation, and can be interpreted as an endorsement of reconciliation.
