Anugita: the Gita retold after the war

Classical

The Gita-sequel: Krishna retells the Gita through fables after the war.

After the war Arjuna says he has forgotten Krishna's teaching and asks him to repeat it. Krishna says he cannot repeat it in detail, and instead gives a different teaching: an old story of a Brahmana telling Kashyapa about the impermanence of heavenly rewards and the search for liberation. So the Anugita is not a retelling of the Gita; Krishna declines to repeat it. Later episodes named in the node were not on the page read.
