Hi group.

 

Could someone mention the most important scholars who have treated the question

of the bardic method underlying the Bharata, in anything like the same way

that the school of Parry and Lord have done for Homer?

You might take a look Mary Caroll Smith's The Warrior Code in India's

Sacred Song (Garland Publishing, New York& London, 1992), a study of

the trishtubh verses of the Mahabharata. She explores the formulaic

contruction of the epic by examining the distinct trishtubh lines

(regular vs. irregular ). She concludes that this core of trishtubh

verses is the old nucleus of the Epic.
