Mahābhārata XIV: Āśvamedhikaparvan (The Book of the Horse Sacrifice)
आश्वमेधिकपर्व (Āśvamedhikaparvan)
Yudhiṣṭhira celebrates the horse sacrifice to purify himself of the war, with the means Vyāsa shows him where to find. It contains the Anugītā, in which Kṛṣṇa teaches Arjuna again, and the fable of the mongoose that puts the grandeur of the royal sacrifice into perspective.
