Whilst there may once have been doubts about the place of this text within the great Indian Epic of the Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata, it now seems that it sheds essential light on the meaning of that immense sacrifice which is the Battle of Kuruk\u1e63etra. Is this sacrificial context fully understood? Is this dialogue between Indra\u2019s son and the avatar of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u accurately contextualised? I have come to the conclusion that not everything has been said by studying the place of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u in the Vedic Agni\u1e63\u1e6doma rite, and I would like to show how this research allows us to describe in a different light the bridge that links the Vedic rite and the <em>Bhagavadg\u012bt\u0101<\/em>, even if the intention is certainly to place a radically new message within an apparently eternal framework.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILIPPE SWENNENLi\u00e8ge University \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Philippe.Swennen@uliege.be A NEW MESSAGE IN AN OLD SETTING &nbsp;The Bhagavadg\u012bt\u0101 is perhaps the most important text in Indian history.
