Annals BORI, LXIX (1988)
What does the author's study based on this uncritical' text show to him? It shows that Siva's place in the epic is far from being negligible, either from the point of view of volume or its significance. The intervention of Siva in the epic theme, from the birth of the heroes upto the final massacre, is continuous, coherent and well-integrated (p. 345 ).
