What is the relation between this text's ideas of salvation and its main character King Yudhiṣṭhira? This book shows that Yudhiṣṭhira serves as a medium for the organization of diverse soteriological ideas. Examining this character's narrative trajectory of struggles and redemptions, this book shows he is intimately associated with \u003ci\u003emokṣa\u003c\/i\u003e (liberation from rebirth). Importantly, Yudhiṣṭhira serves to redefine \u003ci\u003emokṣa\u003c\/i\u003e as selfless action performed as part of a person's inherited duty (\u003ci\u003esvadharma\u003c\/i\u003e), action done for the sake of \u003ci\u003edharma\u003c\/i\u003e alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paloma Muñoz Gomez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004749500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004749504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.88d","brand":"Paloma Muñoz Gomez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48801185792255,"sku":"9789004749504","price":137.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yudhihira-salvation-and-selfless-action-paloma-muzoz-gomez-9789004749504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
