The Kiratarjuneeyam is a Mahakavya named after its chief incident: the fight between Siva under the guise of a Kirata (Mountaineer) and Arjuna. This metrical composition describes the journey of Arjuna to the mountain Indrakila, part of Himalayas, for the propitiation of the gods Indra and Siva and the final obtainment of the divine weapons Pasupata and others from the gods.
With commentary by Sri Mallinatha Suri, the Mahakavya of Kiratarjuneeyam was recorded by Dr. K. Neela Kantham and Sri D. SriRamachandraMurthy.We would like to express gratitude to our co-ordinators Sri K. Aravinda Rao, Sri S. Srinivasa Charya, Sri A. Yagnaramulu and Sri B. Ashok Reddy who provided support and encouragement towards this endeavor.
